Publisher's Synopsis

This text exposes how Fado lyricists have appropriated popular novelist and playwright Júlio Dantas' forging of Mouraria fadista/prostitute Maria Severa as a national heroine, and the Fado as Portugal's national song to manifest a sub-rosa criticism of the Estado Novo's demolition of the Mouraria between the 1930s and 1970s.
