Livro de crônica "Meninos do Curió"

Abstract

In November 2015, the Chacina do Curió came to the fore: an extermination action led by military police that lasted almost 6 hours and killed 11 people in the Grande Messejana region, in Fortaleza (CE). Of the 11 fatalities, eight were young people aged between 16 and 19 years old and uninvolved in the crime. At the center of all this, there was a movement of peripheral mothers who, until today, demand justice for their sons, also bringing up a question little addressed by local news coverage: who were these victims? How were their experiences and individualities apart from the list of the dead on which their names were written? This work aims to shed light on this gap that turns lives into mere statistics. For this, we used the semi-structured in-depth interview and documentary and exploratory research to collect, together with mothers, family and friends of the young victims of the slaughter, the stories told in the chronicles of the book-report Meninos do Curió.
