José do Patrocínio
José Carlos do Patrocínio (born October 9, 1853 or October 8, 1854 in Campos dos Goytacazes , in today's state of Rio de Janeiro , † January 30, 1905 in Rio de Janeiro ) was a Brazilian journalist , writer , publisher and political activist .
Life
Visually recognizable as a person with colored ancestors, his abolitionist writings made him an outstanding figure in the anti-slavery movement in Brazil from 1879 onwards. Patrocínio wrote the declaration of political goals and intentions, which was made public in 1883 as the Manifesto da Confederação Abolicionista .
His novels, stories and satires, on the other hand, are hardly known today. The work Patrocínios comprises three novels, of which Mota Coqueiro ou A pena de morte (1887) is the most widely read.
Between 1887 and 1893 he published and also wrote under a pseudonym for the magazine A Cidade do Rio, whose publication Patrocínio ultimately had to stop because of a publication ban.
