Contents:
Introduction: that is communism today: envisioning the internal enemy -- Only for the cause of the p�atria: the frustrations of interwar moralism -- Sexual revolution?: contexts of countersubversive moralism -- Sexual revolution!: moral panic and the repressive right -- Drugs, anarchism, and eroticism: moral technocracy and the military regime -- Young ladies seduced and carried off by terrorists: secrets, spies, and anticommunist moral panic -- Brazil counts on its sons for redemption: moral, civic, and countersubversive education -- From pornography to the pill: baguna and the limitations of moralist efficacy -- Conclusion.
Summary: " ... A transnational network of right-wing cultural activists. They subsequently joined the powerful hardline constituency supporting Brazil's brutal military dictatorship from 1964 to 1985. There, they lent their weight to a dictatorship that, Cowan argues, operationalized a moral panic that conflated communist subversion with manifestations of modernity, coalescing around the crucial nodes of gender and sexuality, particularly in relation to youth, women, and the mass media"-- Provided by publisher.
