THE MISERABLE REVOLUTION OF THE INFAMOUS CLASSES

In *A MISERABLE REVOLUTION OF THE INFAMOUS CLASSES*, his last text, Décio Freitas—who died in 2004 and is considered the most important historian of the excluded—blurs reality and fiction in his narration of this little-known episode in our history. Based on documents kept in the Pará Public Archives and letters received by the wife of the grandson of Francisco Ferrer—the famous Catalan educator and socialist who was shot in Barcelona on charges of participating in an anarchist uprising—Décio examines the daily lives of those involved in the revolt from an outsider's perspective.
