Abstract

This paper ends with the theme "The Voice of Resistance: a newspaper against dictatorship" and its general objective is to analyze how the Resistance newspaper denounced human rights violations during the dictatorship. Its specific objectives are to present a brief history about the emergence of the press in Brazil; display a historical summary of the Resistance; to address some issues that show the opposition of the newspaper to dictatorship and the defense of the oppressed; and finally, propose strategies of how it can be used in the classroom. The methodology used here is qualitative, using as its main instrument the newspaper itself, made available by the collection of the Casa da Cultura Foundation of Marabá. Produced in Belém do Pará, this newspaper was an alternative vehicle, which emerged (in 1977) to oppose the government. He was not impartial in his publications, and he made it clear, moreover it was the result of the Society for the Defense of Human Rights (SDDH), whose members were socialist militants and sympathizers and / or members of the Communist Party of Brazil (PCB). The Resistance did what the newspapers of the traditional press did not do, since they were either censored by the military that had the power or were allied to them. As opposition newspaper, it covered the relevant facts related to the political conjuncture of the moment, mainly covering to other opposition groups, that at the moment fought against the repression or they underwent repression, among them the squatters and students of the Student Movement. These two groups had a special role during the dictatorship, even with all the apparatus of coercion over them, but they were fundamental in fighting the dictatorship, going out into the streets, going to the fight, holding demonstrations and with their leaders resisting torture and imprisonment. Even subject to censorship and severe punishments, the Resistance carried information to the reader about the waves of protests and repressions that occurred throughout Brazil, making evident on the side of who was.
