{"title":"Jorge Oliveira","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"curral-da-morte","title":"Death corral","description":"In 1957, on Friday the 13th, during the impeachment vote against Governor Muniz Falcão, a shootout in the plenary session of the Alagoas State Legislative Assembly killed one representative and injured eight others, including journalist Márcio Moreira Alves. In little more than 10 minutes, more than a thousand machine gun and revolver shots were fired. Since then, Alagoas—considered by Décio Freitas the Brazilian Sicily—has never been the same. For half a century, the state has been a regular feature in the crime pages of the country's major newspapers and magazines. CURRAL DA MORTE is a collection of valuable information gathered by journalist and filmmaker Jorge Oliveira over the past 30 years. Documents and data were meticulously studied for inclusion in reports for various Brazilian newspapers and magazines. For much of his life, he has interviewed figures involved in political crimes in Alagoas and elsewhere. The result is a fascinating story involving power, money, politics, and, above all, intrigue. Well-known names from the national political scene parade through these pages, in a tangle of episodes and plots that resulted in the first impeachment of a governor in Brazil—Carlos Lacerda, Arnon de Mello, Tenório Cavalcanti, Juracy Magalhães, Marshal Teixeira Lott, Juscelino Kubitschek, Muniz Falcão, among others. Here, the author brings to light striking features of the land of Alagoas. And he unveils the harshness of social conflicts in a region marked by backwardness and barbarity. A kind of no man's land, where disputes were resolved through so-called \"commissioned crimes.\" In \"CURRAL DA MORTE,\" Jorge Oliveira recounts one of the most significant events in recent Brazilian history. These are unprecedented and intriguing revelations of a stalemate that lasted more than twenty years, sponsored by the infamous Alagoas Crime Syndicate. By bringing together hazy, imprecise, and discontinuous facts, lost in time, Jorge Oliveira corrects a flaw in our historiography and creates a book that is essential for understanding contemporary Brazil.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176258650364,"sku":"9788501086181","price":54.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/65833a2b94739a7bbb6f758ebe2fd14b_0e33fc57-1e2d-4283-bd9d-66f7f251a4fc.jpg?v=1778310125"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/jorge-oliveira.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
