Abstract
SA MOTTA, Rodrigo Patto. La violencia política en el Brasil republicano: un análisis de las leyes y las instituciones represivas (1889-1988). Bol. Inst. Hist. Argent. Am. Dr. Emilio Ravignani [online]. 2020, n.53, pp.125-151. ISSN 0524-9767. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.34096/bol.rav.n53.8010.
Taking as chronological landmarks the inauguration of the Republic (1889) and the approval of the last Constitution (1988), the article presents an analytical balance of the history of the political violence practiced by the Brazilian State. The periodization on which the text is based intends to show the most striking moments of this history emphasizing the analysis of the legislative and repressive institutions that oriented the State political violence. The objective is to perceive the challenges to the constitution of a democratic society in Brazil, since the State invariably treated as subversives (often using Anti-communist language) and repressed any political demands aimed at distributing wealth and power, as well as any social manifestations considered threatening to the political and social order.
