Description: "An effort to resurrect the memory of Cipriano Barata, portrayed as a forgotten Brazilian hero who was relegated to oblivion by 'official history.' Describes Barata as a true liberal who fought for individual freedom (he participated in the Tailors' Conspiracy of 1798) and saw the state as the great enemy of freedom"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
