| Sumario: | In this article we develop a comparative analysis of the Mothers of May Square of Argentinaand the Mothers of May in contemporary Brazil. The former arose during the last Argentinemilitary dictatorship, meeting silently in May Square to demand information on the disappearanceof their political activist children, as well as their grandchildren, who in some cases hadbeen brutally stolen by the torturers.

As in the firstcase, these women are also considered crazy for demanding information from the Brazilianstate about the murders of their children. |
