João Urbano Pessoa de Vasconcelos Suassuna, better known as João Suassuna (9 January 1886 – 9 October 1930) was a Brazilian politician from the Sertão region. He was the father of the playwright and author Ariano Suassuna. == Biography == Suassuna was born in Catolé do Rocha. From 1924 to 1929, he was the president〔In the 1920s and 1930s, the governor of Paraiba was known as the president〕 of Paraíba, immediately before João Pessoa. Whereas Suassuna was the defender of agricultural Sertão culture, João Pessoa was a supporter of modernisation.〔André Bueno; ''Literatura e sociedade, narrativa, poesia, cinema, teatro e canção popular''; 7LetrasM; 2006; ISBN 9788575772836〕 His son Ariano wrote about the opposition between the two men:〔José Augusto Guerra; ''O mundo mágico e poético de Ariano Suassuno'', Cultura3, pag. 96-102, Rio de Janeiro, MEC, 1971, p.100〕 : Pessoa represented the middle class of the towns and of the capital, and was in the avant-garde. My father however represented the sertanejos and the status quo. It can be said that they were the last two feudal lords of the sertão...〔José Augusto Guerra; O mundo mágico e poético de Ariano Suassuno, (Cultura) 3rd volume; MEC; 1971〕 When Pessoa became president of his state, and Suassuna a deputy, the military were worried about this situation and declared part of Paraiba independent, which provoked the then President of Brazil, Washington Luís to intervene on behalf of the national government. Pessoa was murdered on 26 July 1930 by a relative of Suassuna.〔Idelette Muzart-Fonseca dos Santos; Littérature/Histoire, regards croisés; Un siècle d'histoire du Nordeste dans ''Le Romance d'A Pedro do Reino''; ISBN 9782840500643〕 On 9 October 1930 Suassuna was murdered in revenge in Rio de Janeiro where he had gone for a meeting with Washington Luís to try to find a solution to the social unrest in the sertão. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「João Urbano Pessoa de Vasconcelos Suassuna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
