Labor and history: a journey through the memories of Clodesmidt Riani

Abstract

In this article we focus the labourism reforms in terms of the trajectory of Clodesmidt Riani, important trade union leader of the period prior to the Civil and Military Coup of 1964. We work with the idea that Riani belongs to a generation differentiated within the second generation labour and labourism reforms, which combines membership democracy with the fight by structural reforms, the mobilization of the masses with institutional action. Under this perspective, we seek to associate fundamentals of renewed political history with oral history regards analysis type used on the memoirs of Riani in its various testimonials.
