Montenegro - Fernando Morais

Montenegro: A Biography of a Revolutionary

Fernando Morais' biography of Carlos Marighella, the Brazilian revolutionary who led the urban guerrilla movement against the military dictatorship in the 1960s and 1970s, is a must-read for anyone interested in Latin American history, political violence, or the struggle for social justice.

A Life of Struggle

Carlos Marighella was born in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, in 1911. He came from a poor family and was forced to work from a young age to help support his family. He became involved in politics in his early twenties, joining the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB). In the 1930s, he was arrested and imprisoned for his political activities.

After his release from prison, Marighella continued to work for the PCB. He became increasingly disillusioned with the party's leadership, however, and in the 1960s he helped to found the National Liberation Action (ALN), a guerrilla group that aimed to overthrow the military dictatorship.

The Urban Guerrilla Movement

The ALN launched a series of attacks on government targets in the late 1960s and early 1970s. These attacks included bombings, kidnappings, and assassinations. The government responded with brutal repression, and many ALN members were killed or arrested.

Marighella was one of the most wanted men in Brazil. He was eventually tracked down and killed by the police in 1969. His death was a major blow to the ALN, but the guerrilla movement continued to fight on.

A Legacy of Resistance

Carlos Marighella's legacy is one of resistance against oppression. He was a tireless fighter for social justice, and he was willing to risk his life for his beliefs. His biography is a powerful reminder of the importance of fighting for what you believe in, even when the odds are stacked against you.
