PORFIRIO, Pablo F. de A.. The Revolutionaries: Francisco Julião and the Zapatistas in Mexico in the 1970s. Secuencia [online]. 2022, n.114, e2080.  Epub 07-Feb-2023. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i114.2080.

This article investigates the trajectory of Francisco Julião, the Brazilian exile in Mexico, located in the period from 1973 to 1976 where he conducted interviews with former soldiers of the Zapatista army. Together with the Chilean student Angélica Rodríguez Madariaga, around 200 interviews were carried out. One of the main documentary records of the interviews was the field diary prepared by Rodríguez. From this document, along with other sources, it is intended to understand how significant these interviews were on the stage of the early 1970s during the six-year term of Luis Echeverría. And, above all: why did a Brazilian exile do it? What is the relationship between Francisco Julião and the Mexican government? We conclude that Francisco Julião -a peasant leader in Brazil- became part of the Mexican political and intellectual network in the 1970s. In the article we explain how he got to this place.
