The article analyzes the testimonies of Brazilian internationalists who worked in Mozambique during the socialist transition process that began in 1977, examining how their experiences were progressively integrated into transnational memory cultures and contemporary practices of public history. Drawing on oral sources, travel diaries, and digital archives, the text investigates how these voices were mobilized, silenced, or re-signified in different historical and geographical contexts. It argues that such testimonies not only document past experiences but also contribute to the construction of transnational citizenships and to the critical re-elaboration of democratic memory in post-dictatorship Brazil. By articulating individual, institutional, and geopolitical scales, the study highlights the formative role of solidarity internationalism in the era of socialist globalization and proposes a relational reading between oral history, public history, and global social justice
