Abstract

Abstract Florestan Fernandes (1920–1995) was a Brazilian sociologist and politician. Academically, he was committed to the development of sociology in Brazil and to the study of capitalist modernization in peripheral societies. Fernandes analyzed the transition from colonial to modern society in Brazil in its economic, political, and social aspects. He argued that Brazil had experienced a contradictory and dependent type of bourgeois revolution, which lacked national and democratic content. Politically, Fernandes worked with popular movements and leftist political parties toward the realization of socialism in Latin America.
