Tipografia anticomunista: os jornais A União e A Imprensa na “redemocratização” paraibana de 1945.

Abstract

The politic process unchained with the end of the Second World War made possible airs of democracy to the Brazilian society. Immediately after the country was “Redemocratized”, the forces of the Brazilian left started to reorganize around the PCB (The Brazilian Communist Party), completing the Brazilian politic scene in the fight for power. In this direction, in the Brazilian state of Paraíba, in the ensuing electoral process, there was a clash of forces for the maintenance of the power on the government side and of the conquering of the process by the communist opponents. It is about this period that we intend to give evidence of the government use of the periodicals A união and A Imprensa as tools of symbolic power.
