Herbert Daniel was a complex figure in 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.
He spent much of the 1970s in Europe, 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, Professor of Modern Latin American History at Brown University, positions Daniel as a vital bridge linking former revolutionaries to the new social movements.
The book was also published in Portuguese: “Revolucionário e gay: A extraordinária vida de Herbert Daniel – Pioneiro na luta pela democracia, diversidade e inclusão. Civilização Brasileira, 2018.
