He came to South Africa and stayed with us in about 1958. Some where I have a photo of them together in the garden. I was later to meet him on my first visit to Portugal and his charming wife. I also met with his family in Palmela. This must have been just before he died. A remarkable man.

Somehow, I find it hard to trace material from your country, while I know that the beret has a long history in Portugal too. Any suggestions, material would be much appreciated!<br /><br />Thank you for your additional comments on Jaime Rebelo.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />DaanBeret And Boinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547349500135165830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281872119838034340.post-5789347512357056532013-09-20T01:32:58.015+12:002013-09-20T01:32:58.015+12:00Just forgot to mention one small but relevant deta...Just forgot to mention one small but relevant detail: Jaime Rebelo cut off his tongue with his own teeth.<br /><br />Love your blog and your south pacific site. Your blog in particular, is not only extremely beautiful and culturally enriching, but it is also truly universal. Quite remarkable. <br /><br />Jaime Rebelo appears on the selected photo and artwork with a beret. Also called in portuguese as "bóina" it is still a popular feature througout the portuguese countryside and coastal fishing towns, preferred among the most humble country workers (camponeses)and fishermen (pescadores)for its practicability, resistance and effective protection against the elements. Also common (until quite recently)among artists and writers, principally those engaged in the neo-realist artistic and literay movement. If (and when)I find material on what is also very much a portuguese tradition I will be glad to send you. <br />Best regards,<br />PedroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281872119838034340.post-73830642700297186462013-09-19T18:00:13.165+12:002013-09-19T18:00:13.165+12:00Dear Pedro,

To show the character of this remarkable man, just a small correction: under brutal torture by PIDE, it was Jainme, himself, that cut off his own tongue to avoid denouncing his comrades!<br />Forced to leave his country, after having fought in Spain and having fled to France he eventually returned to his native Portugal and lived to see the fall of the dictatorship and the rise of democracy with the 1974 April 25th revolution. At 74 years of age, he participated actively in the ensuing revolutionary process, having reinstated a popular based mutual help association (Casa dos Pescadores/House of the Fishermen) and colaborating both in libertatian movements (Movimento Libertário Português/Portuguese Libertarian Movement) and anarquist inspired newspapers(A Batalha/The Battle and A Voz Anarquista/The Voice of the Anarquist). This remarkable man died on January 7th 1975.<br />As a useful link: http://colectivolibertarioevora.wordpress.com/2012/12/18/memoria-libertaria-jaime-rebelo/ <br />Thank you so much for this post and for the memory it evokes.<br /><br />Best regards from the opposite side of the planet (Portugal),<br /><br />Pedro Garcia Marques (p.marques@fd.lisboa.ucp.pt)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
