Exile within Exiles

Green James N. Green

Description

Herbert Daniel was a significant and complex figure in Brazilian leftist revolutionary politics and social activism from the mid-1960s until his death in 1992. As a medical student, he joined a revolutionary guerrilla organization but was forced to conceal his sexual identity from his comrades, a situation Daniel described as internal exile. After a government crackdown, he spent much of the 1970s in Europe, where his political self-education continued. He returned to Brazil in 1981, becoming engaged in electoral politics and social activism to champion gay rights, feminism, and environmental justice, achieving global recognition for fighting discrimination against those with HIV/AIDS. In Exile within Exiles, James N. Green paints a full and dynamic portrait of Daniel's deep commitment to leftist politics, using Daniel's personal and political experiences to investigate the opposition to Brazil's military dictatorship, the left's construction of a revolutionary masculinity, and the challenge that the transition to democracy posed to radical movements. Green positions Daniel as a vital bridge linking former revolutionaries to the new social movements, engendering productive dialogue between divergent perspectives in his writings and activism.

Thîs book woud not have been possîbe wîthout the edîtorîa, înteectua, and mora support o Moshé Suhovsky, my îetîme partner. He contînues to put up wîth my quîrks, mîspaced enthusîasm, and harebraîned îdeas. I am grateu or hîs ove and patîence. A ong chaîn o peope îs înked to thîs project, startîng wîth Jefrey Es- coier, who în 1974 joîned me în a rather unsuccessu gay socîaîst study group în Phîadephîa. My coeagues în the June 28 Unîon în the San Fran- cîsco Bay Area the oowîng year, now dîspersed and mosty deceased, ofered a supportîve group as we organîzed the “Gay Soîdarîty wîth the Chîean Resîstance” event în September 1975 and trîed to întegrate the compexîtîes o the persona and the poîtîca. Lîkewîse, I am thanku to thosewhojoînedmeînSãoPauoînormîngthefirstlgbtgroup wîthîn a South Amerîcan et-wîng party, especîay Hîro Okîta and Caros Rîcardo da Sîva, as we as those members o Somos, Brazî’s first gay and esbîan rîghts organîzatîon, who marched on May 1, 1980, under the banner “Down wîth the Dîscrîmînatîon o Homosexua Workers.” Many years ater, when I returned to graduate schoo, John D’Emîîo was a oya sponsor o my work, and I greaty apprecîate hîs confidence în me. Ângea Pezzutî, Beto Vasconceos, Crîstîna Montenegro, Denîse Roem- berg, Jessîe Jane Vîeîra de Sousa, Ivan Seîxas, Lúcîa Veoso Maurícîo, Marîa do Carmo Brîto, Monîca Arruda, Sérgîo Xavîer Ferreîra, Verîano Terto, and Zenaîde Machado ofered me contacts that were essentîa în trackîng down thîs story. I aso wîsh to thank Isabe Leîte and Yama Arruda or patîenty transcrîbîng dozens o întervîews, Antónîo J. Ramaho or doîng research and conductîng an întervîew or me în Portuga, and Amérîcîo Oscar Guîchard Freîre or suppyîng me wîth copîes o Portuguese poîce records.
