Churchill for the present

— Precisely because he was shaped as a man of the empire, much of Churchill's political difficulties in the post-Second World War involve problems of adjustment to a world that condemns militarism and that tries to rebuild itself after the human and political tragedy he faced — he says Raquel Gomes, professor in the Department of History at Unicamp. Now, observes the historian, part of the former premier's ideas are gaining ground amid frustrations with the present: — It is curious to think that the contemporary resumption of a "heroic Churchill" is explained by movements such as Brexit, which dialogue with the resumption to values ​​that shaped the political and cultural experience of the British empire.
