O movimento estudantil em 1968 pelas lentes do Conselho de Segurança Nacional

Abstract

The article examines how the National Security Council evaluated the student protest in Brazil in 1968. It investigates the pronouncements of its members in two sections convened by Costa e Silva (President of the Republic) to discuss the political crisis. It discusses the main interpretations of Ministers and Counselors on student struggles in the light of the tensions and uncertainties present in the context. The perception of how the Council evaluated the student movement helps to understand aspects of the conjuncture of 1968 and the anti-Communist representations elaborated on youth critical of the regime during the dictatorship.
