A professora Lúcia Emília Carvalho de Araújo e a repressão de 1964 em Pernambuco: a trajetória de uma educadora vítima da ditadura

Abstract

Even 57 years after the beginning of the Brazilian military dictatorship, the discussion on the subject generates heated and passionate debates. Human rights and individual liberties are still relativized in a contumacious way, and not much has been learned from this experience. Fiery political speeches detract from those who fell in the fight against the dictatorship in an attempt to justify the atrocities committed by the regime. One such victim was the teacher Lúcia Emília Carvalho de Araújo, who, like hundreds of other victims, lacks in-depth research about the mistreatment to which they were subjected. The documentary collection used for this research comes from the Public Archive of Pernambuco, which has vast documentation from the former Department of Political and Social Order – DOPS – (1935 – 1990).
