Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

In 1945, Jorge was elected to the National Constituent Assembly as a representative of the Brazilian Communist Party (Partido Comunista Brasileiro, PCB). As a representative, Amado introduced a law guaranteeing freedom of religious faith. In 1947, the Communist Party was declared illegal in Brazil, and its members were persecuted and imprisoned, which led Amado to go into exile to Europe from 1947-1954.

Included here are photocopy documents related to Amado's political involvement - his time at the National Constituent Assembly and Serviço Nacional de Informações (SNI) file on Amado. A photocopy of a publication titled, "O Partido Comunista e a Liberdade de Criação", and a map of Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil exist.
