A ação da cruz vermelha através das lentes de uma franciscana (meados de 1980)

Abstract

This article aims to report the episode of the Red Cross campaign in the municipalities of São José da Tapera and Pão de Açúcar, in the mid-1980s in Alagoas. We present photographs belonging to the Dutch Franciscan nun, Sister Redempta, responsible for articulating the Cross Red in soil taperense and pao-de-açucarense. We adopted field/bibliographic research of an exploratory and qualitative nature, as a methodological procedure. We sought theoretical bases in bibliographies of authors such as Ciro Flamarion Cardoso and Ana Maria Mauad (1997), José Cicero Correia (2012), Luis Patrício Ortiz (1991), Durval Muniz de Albuquerque Júnior (2011), among others, as they expand analyzes and research on the topic addressed here. This article resulted in a presentation of solidarity action during the 1980 drought in the backlands of Alagoas.
