Canofre, Fernanda	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Brazil is in the midst of perhaps the most sweeping criminalization of indigenous rights in recent history. The “ruralists,” politicians in Congress with ties to the country’s influential agribusiness lobby, are pushing through legislation to rob independent government agencies of the ability to designate ancestral land for indigenous peoples. Brazilian journalist Fernanda Canofre reports on the politics behind the nation’s land battles, which killed more than 60 people last year.

We have to talk about it: why Brazil must confront the crimes of its military period / Canofre, Fernanda

Canofre, Fernanda	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

When a society fails to confront the dark episodes of its history, it leaves its past vulnerable to distortion and exploitation, argues journalist Fernanda Canofre. Brazil has never properly investigated the crimes of its military dictatorship period (1964-1985), and far-right politicians have been manipulating the country’s collective memory of this era for their own gain.
