The Revolution before the Revolution: Protest, Culture & Society, cartea 18

Autor Guya Accornero
en Limba Engleză Hardback – apr 2016
Histories of Portugal's transition to democracy have long focused on the 1974 military coup that toppled the authoritarian Estado Novo regime and set in motion the divestment of the nation's colonial holdings. However, the events of this "Carnation Revolution" were in many ways the culmination of a much longer process of resistance and protest originating in universities and other sectors of society. Combining careful research in police, government, and student archives with insights from social movement theory, The Revolution before the Revolution broadens our understanding of Portuguese democratization by tracing the societal convulsions that preceded it over the course of the "long 1960s."

Descriere

Portugal's 1974 Carnation Revolution was in many ways the culmination of a much longer history of resistance originating in universities and other sectors of society. Combining careful research with insights from social movement theory, this book traces these convulsions in Portuguese society over the course of the long 1960s.
