انقلاب قبل از انقلاب: اقتدارگرایی دیرهنگام و اعتراض دانشجویی در پرتغال

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.” 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.
