Impactos da Revolução Cubana no debate político maranhense : uma reflexão a partir do Jornal do Povo (1959-1964)

Abstract

This monograph analyzes how the Jornal do Povo approached the Cuban Revolution in the period between 1959 and 1964. We assume the relevance of this event for the time and its repercussion in debates, project and political actions at the time, especially in Latin America. Based on the numerous texts found in the journal, we guide the bibliographical review that opens the work and explore the main lines of approach to the event identified in the newspaper: the interpretation of his collaborators on the American sanctions to the Cuban revolutionary government and Brazil9s relations with Cuba. We tried to demonstrate how the reports explained the impasses generated by this episode impacted on foreign policy and diplomatic debates involving Cuba, Brazil and the United States. In addition, we emphasize the relevance of the press as a privileged source of research for understanding the circulation of ideas in Latin America in the twentieth century.
