On the 25th April 1974, a coup destroyed the ranks of Portugal's
fascist Estado Novo government as the Portuguese people flooded the
streets of Lisbon, placing red carnations in the barrels of guns
and demanding a 'land for those who work in it'. This became the
Carnation Revolution - an international coalition of working class
and social movements, which also incited struggles for independence
in Portugal's African colonies, the rebellion of the young military
captains in the national armed forces and the uprising of
Portugal's long-oppressed working classes. It was through the
organising power of these diverse movements that a popular-front
government was instituted and Portugal withdrew from its overseas
colonies. Cutting against the grain of mainstream accounts, Raquel
Cardeira Varela explores the role of trade unions, artists and
women in the revolution, providing a rich account of the challenges
faced and the victories gained through revolutionary means.
