An exploration of how political violence is constructed, this book
presents the life stories of individuals once committed to
political transformation through violent means in Portugal.
Challenging simplistic conceptualisations about the actors of
violence, this book examines issues of temporality, gender and
interpersonal dynamics in the study of political violence. It is
the first comprehensive case study of political violence in
Portugal, based on the perspectives of former militants. These are
individuals from different political spheres who became convinced
that they could not be mere spectators of the circumstances of
their times. For them, the only viable way of making a difference
was through violent acts. Applying the Dialogical Self Theory to
trace the identity positions underpinning their narratives, this
book not only sheds light on radicalisation and deradicalisation
processes at the individual level, but also on the meso- and
macro-level contexts that instigate engagement with and encourage
disengagement from armed organisations. This book will be of
interest to students and scholars of critical terrorism studies,
political violence, European history and security studies more
generally.
