Eça de Queiroz

Rescues the libertarian sentiment of the late 19th century, when addressing the last rebellion in Goiana, Pernambuco province. Paulo Cavalcanti examines how the Pernambuco reacted against the will and the Portuguese rule, and his report addresses the crucial moment in 1871, marked by political crises and the great dissatisfaction with the Portuguese monopoly on trade, which has remained unchanged even after several insurgent movements.
