The Bible, Black Women, and Bolsonaro

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service global religion reporter Lebo Diseko meets evangelical women of colour whose support in 2018 brought success for the right-wing populist, Jair Bolsonaro.

Ahead of Brazil's presidential election in October, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service global religion reporter Lebo Diseko meets some of the evangelical women of colour whose support in 2018 brought success for the right-wing populist, Jair Bolsonaro. Four years ago Bolsonaro's emphasis on family values and religion held a strong appeal to these voters, despite his controversial comments on race and women. But might they this time prefer a candidate from the left, such as Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva?
