This book examines the Brazilian scenario following the authoritarian regime (1964-1985) and in the midst of the reconstruction of democracy. Based on accountability and redress for victims of past human rights abuses, this book assesses the mechanisms most commonly associated with Transitional Justice, such as amnesties versus criminal prosecutions, non-judicial truth-seeking commissions to expose human rights violations, and reparations for victims. A comprehensive analysis of how these pillars have (or have not) been implemented throughout the last few decades in Brazil is carried out.The book offers a holistic approach to Transitional Justice, covering not only the governmental measures seeking reconciliation and accountability, but also the role of civil society organizations in the search for truth, justice, and memory. In addition, it proposes a discussion about the violations of the human rights of indigenous people during the dictatorship (1964-1985); it investigates the role of gender in Brazilian Transitional Justice measures, and initiatives towards visibility, recognition and transformation, as well as the role played by complicit corporations and private actors. In summary, this book elucidates the social dynamics operating in the specific historical context of post-authoritarian Brazil and attempts to create an accurate and clearly defined timeline of Transitional Justice in Brazil.
