Tras las huellas del símbolo

“…Como sostiene Alejandro Paredes (2018) -en consonancia con la idea de Bastian acerca de la promoción de "vanguardias ideológicas y teológicas"-era "un grupo claramente intelectual" y todos habían realizado o tenían en curso carreras universitarias (p. 73). Paz e Terra, fundada tras un acuerdo entre militantes protestantes y miembros del Partido Comunista Brasilero, cumplió una tarea clave de promoción de debates y de articulación de prácticas de resistencia en Brasil tras el golpe de Estado a João Goulart en 1964 (Cunha, 2007(Cunha, y 2010Czajka, 2011;Paredes, 2017Paredes, y 2018Brugaletta, 2018).…”
