Abstract

From interviews with a group of political militants, connected to activities of political advising and formation with the working-class during the civil-military Brazilian dictatorship, this article intends to discuss the trajectories
of those militants that became an intellectually consistent nucleus of political resistance to authoritarianism. The article shows how these militants established a direct relationship with workers and social movements, through an advising activity that put together a good professional background and a clear political and militant position. The trajectories also reveal a strong connection with progressive sectors of the churches – Catholic and Protestants – and with nongovernmental organizations of advising to political formation.
