Política Estadual e poder local : os efeitos da revolução de 1930 na reconfiguração de poder em Morrinhos, Goiás

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze the effects of the 1930 Revolution on the exchange of power of the local oligarchies in the city of Morrinhos, Goiás. We start from the observation that the arrival of Getúlio Vargas to the presidency caused a change of power in the states, as was the case with the case of Goiás, where physician Pedro Ludovico Teixeira, from a traditional political family in the city of Rio Verde, in southwestern Goiás, was appointed intervener. The arrival of Pedro Ludovico in government represented the overthrow of the hitherto dominant oligarchies, such as the Bulhões and Caiado, and started the process of transferring the political domain of the city of Vila Boa de Goiás, then capital of the state, and the construction of Goiânia , the new capital planned by the interventor, became permanent. This research is part of the attempt to understand the effects of this change of leadership in the municipality of Morrinhos, south of Goiás. Politically controlled by Coronel Hermenegildo Lopes de Moraes, the “southern group”, an episodic ally of the oligarchies of the former capital, occupied, for more than fifteen years, the vice presidency of the state, despite having elected three governors between 1901 and 1930, in addition to having dominated the executive and legislative powers locally throughout the period. From 1930 onwards, this political arrangement was dismantled, allowing the rise of secondary political groups. The research is justified by the fact that we understand that the case of Morrinhos is representative of other processes of political leadership transfer at the same time in Goiás. The research intends to draw on a broad historiographical tradition about the time in Goiás, particularly Francisco's analysis. Itami Campos, Nasr Chaul, among others. In addition, the research is based on sources and documents from public and private archives, as well as on periodicals of the time.
