Portugal's 1974 military coup brought down the longest established
fascist regime in the history of the world and the only remaining
colonial empire, and set loose a tremendous political upsurge by
ordinary Portuguese citizens. People who had never discussed
politics above a whisper shouted and debated their dreams. As they
seized control of factories and neighborhoods, they took control of
their lives. In Building Popular Power, John L. Hammond describes
those extraordinary days of workplace and community takeovers. He
tells the story of how people called for, worked for, and embodied
a new model of revolution based on popular power. Although their
bid for revolutionary change was turned back and many of their
initiatives strangled, their efforts and achievements made popular
participation central to the attempt to construct socialism.
