The Brazilian Civil Military Dictatorship in the Trenches of Memory

This work was born out of the need to broaden the debate about the Brazilian Civil Military Dictatorship in the face of the growth of hate speech, which was more widespread during the 2014 presidential race. Coup, Dictatorship, Censorship, Repression and Torture, words so present as identifiers of the period that began in 1964, are opposed by terms such as Revolution, Counter-coup, Growth, Discipline, Security and the Fight against Communism from those who seek to re-signify it. Words, gestures, symbols, political and intellectual references revisit a chapter of Brazilian history that didn't end in the 1980s and is gaining new ground in classrooms, on social networks and in the projects flagged up by party leaders. Revisiting the period presided over by the generals is part of a War for Memory which, in this book, relies on the still-living words of those who defended or those who were fought by the power structure that was set up after the fall of João Goulart. Happy reading.
