Brake squeal is usually caused by a friction issue between the brake shoe and the drum; cheap brake shoe lining, glazed lining (from overheating), worn-out brake shoes/drums, polished drum friction surface, etc. Check the obvious things first like brake adjustment, leaking wheel seals, mud/sand/etc behind the dustshields in the drums.
