SCHWINN, Simone Andrea  and  SCHMIDT, João Pedro. From dictatorship to democracy: the unfinished brazilian transition. Rev. Reflex [online]. 2015, vol.23, n.2, pp.25-53. ISSN 1982-9949.  https://doi.org/10.17058/rea.v23i2.6077.

Brazil, like other Latin American countries, went through a long period of deprivation of freedoms and fundamental rights, in time of the civil-military dictatorship that lasted from 1964 to 1985 and left a large number of victims: political prisoners, persecuted, exiled, dead and missing. After nearly three decades of the end of the regime, it is possible to affirm that the consequences of those dark times are still being felt, both in society and in the institutions. This work brings as theme the Brazilian transition process, questioned about the construction of a historical memory for a reconciliation with its past of violations of human rights and evaluating the consequences of an established policy of not memory for the whole of society.

Keywords : Democracy; Dictatorship; Right to Memory; Transitional Justice.
