In Foreign
Policy, David J. Rothkopf has directed the
world’s attention to an incredible candidate in Brazil’s presidential race. Marina
Silva has stunned seasoned political observers in the past month as her
popularity has skyrocketed. Ms. Silva’s personal life story – the mixed race
child of impoverished parents becoming the first in her family to read and
later rising to prominence as a champion of the Amazon rainforest – has
resonated in a country that celebrates its diverse heritages and landscapes. However,
whether Ms. Silva can change environmental or developmental law from the
presidential palace is yet to be determined.
The first round of Brazil’s presidential elections will take place on
October 5th.
