The Elementary Forms of Corruption

The Elementary Forms of Corruption

Social Science,
Cultural Anthropology

Seeks to better understand the nature of corruption through a case study of a rural Brazilian community’s response to the country’s political fraud. The Elementary Forms of Corruption is an ethnographic history of rural Brazilians’ shifting moral imagination in the context of their country’s recent corruption scandals and political crises. The book explores how Brazil’s cosmopolitan models of corruption, both left-wing and right-wing varieties, found their way to a small sertanejo (hinterland) municipality in the northeast, where people understood corruption very differently.
