The author reported on the memory of the dictatorship. This contribution is a brilliant synthesis of the link between memory and history during the dark years that began in 1964 by a coup generating very little resistance and which nobody thought it would lead the military to remain in power nearly two decades, ushering in a dictatorship in 1968 no longer concealed his name. But, after the democracy’s restauration, unlike Argentina, Brazil did not challenge the 1979’s amnesty and still refuses access to some of the national archives. Despite a really less bloody dictatorship than the one of the south bank of the Rio de la Plata, the path of the memory is perhaps more complex than the way for democracy.
