Abstract
In this pedagogical letter, I propose to dialogue with the citizens of Brazil. I am writing the letter in order to have a debate about what is happening in Brazil today. We sleep in hope and wake up fragmentation and depoliticization. I return to the concepts of citizenship and democracy in Brazil considering three aspects described by Jose Murilo de Carvalho. Slavery, the latifundium and the lack of social rights are colony inheritances that continue today as central aspects in the history of the constitution of Brazilian citizenship. Finally, in this pedagogical letter to Brazilian citizens, I present a debate that reflects the dimension of the conjuncture in which Brazil is currently inserted.Keywords: Citizenship; democracy; hope
