O passado que não passa. A sombra das ditaduras na Europa do Sul e na América Latina.

The title of the publication [The past that doesn’t pass. The shadow of dictatorships over Southern Europe and Latin America] reveals the author’s concerns with keeping alive the memory of “a past” that cannot be forgotten. However, the purpose of this book goes far beyond encouraging people to remember the horrors perpetrated during the dictatorships that marked the history of the twentieth century: the different chapters introduce interpretations that contribute to a wider understanding of the meaning of the traumatic experiences suffered in a past that has left enduring marks of authoritarianism in the political culture of Southern Europe and Latin American nations. This publication is especially important for the Brazilian public because it analyzes different aspects of dictatorships that were similar to the one occurring in Brazil after the coup of 1964.
