BIOGRAPHY
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
39th President of Brazil
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was born on October 27, 1945, in the city of Garanhuns, deep in rural Pernambuco, Brazil. Lula is the seventh of the eight offspring of Aristides Inácio da Silva and Eurídice Ferreira de Mello, dona Lindu – who has always been a great example to him.
In December 1952, dona Lindu and her eight children migrated to São Paulo fleeing drought and hunger. The journey took 13 days on a pau de arara truck [adapted in a makeshift way to transport passengers, as an improvised and uncomfortable substitute for conventional buses]. At first, the family lived on the outskirts of the city of Guarujá, 60 kilometers away from the state capital São Paulo.
Young Lula was taught to read and write at Grupo Escolar Marcílio Dias, a local public school. In 1956 the family moved to the capital São Paulo, where they lived in a room at the back of a bar in the Ipiranga neighborhood. Lula got his first job at the age of 12, in a dye shop. He was also a shoes

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Brazilian Portuguese:[luˈiziˈnasjuˈlulɐdɐˈsiwvɐ]ⓘ; born Luiz Inácio da Silva; 27 October 1945),[1] known mononymously as Lula, is a Brazilian politician who is the 39th and current president of Brazil since 2023. A member of the Workers' Party, Lula was also the 35th president from 2003 to 2011.
Described as left-wing, his first presidency coincided with South America's first pink tide. During his first two consecutive terms in office, he continued fiscal policies and promoted social welfare programs such as Bolsa Família that eventually led to growth in GDP, reduction in external debt and inflation, and helping 20 million Brazilians escape poverty. He also played a role in foreign policy, both on a regional level and as part of global trade and environment negotiations.[2] During those terms, Lula was considered one of the most popular politicians in Brazil's history and left

Lula and His Politics of Cunning: From Metalworker to President of Brazil
John D. French
2020
The University of North Carolina Press
Known around the world simply as Lula, Luis Inacio Lula da Silva was born in 1945 to illiterate parents who migrated to industrializing Sao Paulo. He learned to read at ten years of age, left school at fourteen, became a skilled metalworker, rose to union leadership, helped end a military dictatorship—and in 2003 became the thirty-fifth president of Brazil. During his administration, Lula led his country through reforms that lifted tens of millions out of poverty. Here, John D. French, one of the foremost historians of Brazil, provides the first critical biography of the leader whom even his political opponents see as strikingly charismatic, humorous, and endearing.
Interweaving an intimate and colorful story of Lula's life—his love for home, soccer, factory floor, and union hall—with an analysis of large-scale forces, French argues that Lula was uniquely equipped to influence the authoritarian structures of power in this developing nati
