#4 – Anthony Pereira on how Latin American dictatorships used the law against dissidents
Today, Fabio talks to Anthony Pereira, a political scientist who teaches at the King's College, in London. Pereira is the author of Political (In)justice, a book on how Latin American dictatorships used the law to repress political dissidents, which he then labeled authoritarian legality. Fabio and Pereira discussed how these lessons from the past could be used in efforts to understand present-day autocratic legalism and what Brazilianists got wrong about Brazil.
