“The first official commemorations of November 25th, promoted by the government and the far-right on the fiftieth anniversary in 2025, showed, that the right wants to definitively end the legacy of the Portuguese revolution.
But the heated dispute over the “dates” — after 50 years! where else in the world do you see this? — shows, above all, something else: that the Portuguese revolution has not yet completely died; nor has the counter-revolution, of which the “November 25th” became the emblem, definitively won.
With “narratives” that clash so vividly, not in history libraries, but still in the living political arena, what really happened on April 25, 1974, and November 25, 1975? And after November?
This is what this book is about, from the point of view of the youth and the working class that made the revolution.
The book therefore addresses, first and foremost, the new generations, who did not personally experience the Portuguese revolution.
Come and talk about this with one of the authors, Adriano Zilhão, and the sociology professor from Braga, Manuel Carlos Silva!"
