Dictatorship and Democracy
No. 87 SEPTEMBER 2018
Eleven years have passed since Salazar was elected «the greatest Portuguese ever» in a public television station competition. This episode, like other similar ones, has caused fractures in the collective memory of a country that has lived in a democracy for four decades. The history of the Estado Novo and the successive tales of authoritarianism and repression seem to be blown around in the sea of controversies, barely skimming the surface. As extremism gains ground in Europe again, the singularities of 48 years of the Estado Novo, but also of the Revolution that brought it to an end, are put into perspective in an essay based on extensive research, which does not forget the testimonies of those who went through it.
Book recommended by the National Reading Plan.
