In the later twentieth century, Brazil's right-wing military dictatorship built a spate of low carbon hydropower dams to electrify its cities and industries. The costs fell disproportionately on Indigenous communities and the environment. Johnson examines the implications across Brazil alongside global questions of politics and environmentalism.
