Partisan Publics
Communication and Contention across
Brazilian Youth Activist Networks
Ann Mische
“Ann Mische’s Partisan Publics is an intellectually
sophisticated study of Brazilian youth politics and
the emergence of multiple publics during a time
of political transition and turbulence. Her original
and innovative analysis of the ways that all politics
involve a mix of the civic and the partisan trans-
forms our understanding of these fundamental
features of social and political life.”
