“Some with so much, others with so little, but most have nothing.” “Put the pan back in the cupboard, because the money wasn’t enough today.” “If workers knew the value of their days, their salary would double. But since they did not see it, they are slaves without being of any usurer.”Brazil is no stranger to economic discussions. It has always been on people's lips, in conversations at bars, in samba and rap songs.

If there was no popular resistance against the authoritarian regime, there were no crimes during the dictatorship. This is the logic of erasure, which silenced the constant cries of struggle during 21 years of Brazil's civilian-military dictatorship. The same government that promoted state terrorism against thousands of people worked systematically to erase their stories.

M.* tiene un nuevo trabajo: administra una cafetería. En el local, un joven sirve café a un grupo de brasileños. Todos parecen menores de 18 años y están sentados en una mesa de madera, en un bosque de palmas con vista a un pequeño arroyo. Sin embargo, los muchachos no están ahí por el café. Van tras las drogas. M. llegó a Brasil desde su Venezuela natal en 2014 para escapar de la crisis económica, política y humanitaria que ha sacudido al país durante casi una década.
