Do Getulismo ao Queremismo: transição democrática na Paraíba (1942-1945).

Abstract

This dissertation aims to understand the social relations that enabled the emergence of the Queremista Movement in Paraíba at the end of the Estado Novo dictatorship (1944-1945). We assume that the adhesion to Getúlio Vargas' political project did not take place through the ideological propaganda apparatus, but through the transformations that took place since 1930, which enabled the emergence of labor laws and social guarantees, where the end of the Estado Novo came to represent a threat to the gains of the working class arising from the Vargas era. Theoretically, the work is aligned in the field of Social History with an interface in Political History, with the use of concepts such as Bonapartism, Labor and Experience, respectively forged by authors such as Felipe Demier, Angela de Castro Gomes and Edward Palmer Thompson. Methodologically, we made use of the contributions of Carlo Ginzburg with the evidential paradigm. The sources used in this research are the result of collating oral, written, iconographic reports, in addition to newspapers, cordéis and the numerous requests from Paraíba sent to the presidency of the republic.
