Green Exiles within Exiles is a biography of the Brazilian revolutionary and social activist Herbert Daniel, whose life and political commitment shaped contemporary debates about social justice, gay rights, and HIV/AIDS. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher 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 Daniels deep commitment to leftist politics, using Daniels personal and political experiences to investigate the opposition to Brazils military dictatorship, the lefts 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. Author Biography James N. Green is Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Professor of Latin American History at Brown University and the author of several books, including We Cannot Remain Silent: Opposition to the Brazilian Military Dictatorship in the United States, also published by Duke University Press.

Green positions Daniel as a link between a more violently intolerant past and a progressive movement that seeks dialog and results." -- Donald Padgett * HIV Plus Mag *"Exile within Exiles is an elegiac homage to Herbert Daniel. . . . James N. Green artfully brings to life the history of a man on the margins who defied easy categorization. . . . In the process, Green presents an innovative approach to grasping the imbrications of sexuality and politics in modern Latin American history." -- Patrick William Kelly * Middle Atlantic Review of Latin American Studies *"James N. Green captures the life of an extraordinary figure in late twentieth-century Brazil and does so with great detail and sensitivity. . . . Beautifully researched and realized, Exile Within Exiles is the story, not only of a man, but a movement. Its apt title is the perfect metaphor for a gay man whose sexuality was not widely accepted by the movement that was so close to his heart." -- John Francis Leonard * A&U Magazine *"Exile within Exiles is a refreshing addition to a growing genre that explores the intersection of public and private spheres, both in the lives of historical figures as well as in the creation of political movements." -- Larissa Pires * H-LatAm, H-Net Reviews *"Exile within Exiles seamlessly merges the particulars of Daniels life with the broader context of repression and mobilization in authoritarian Brazil, the cultural milieu and restrictions of Brazilian society, and the grassroots mobilization in Brazils transition to democracy. The result is a compelling life-and-times biography." -- Colin M. Snider * Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies *"James Green has produced a pathbreaking portrait that combines compelling biography with critical historiographical contributions." -- Benjamin A. Cowan * HAHR *"A magnicent and moving biography that tells a larger story about resistance to authoritarian rule, the struggle for democracy, and the assertion of gay subjectivity in modern Brazil." -- Christopher Dunn * Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research * Review Quote "This engaging and beautifully written account of the life of Herbert Daniel captures the spirit and energy of a person I knew well. We did political work together in Belo Horizonte and then both went underground in 1969 to resist the military dictatorship. Exile within Exiles captures the essence of an extraordinary person living in a period of intense changes, who was a pioneer in the fight to express openly his sexual identity while struggling for a more just and egalitarian Brazil."
