Rate this book
Escrito em um contexto em que Florestan Fernandes lutava ativamente na frente intelectual, enfrentando graves problemas de saúde e o transformismo que repercutia no pensamento crítico mundial, "A Contestação Necessária: retratos intelectuais de inconformistas e revolucionários" tem como origem na obra original "Em busca do Socialismo" que, reorganizada com “a cooperação fraterna e incansável de Vladimir Sacchetta, que desconhece sacrifícios para facilitar a minha vida”, deu origem aos seus dois livros póstumos. O Prefácio de "A Contestação (...)", elaborado por Florestan, foi concluído três semanas antes da internação para o transplante de fígado, 21 dias antes de seu falecimento, em 10 de agosto de 1995.
