Despite worldwide interest in the Portuguese Revolution of 1974,
Portugal remained for most people a little known and poorly
understood country, neglected for years by social scientists.
Editors Graham and Makler brought together for the first time in
one substantive volume most of the leading social science experts
on Portugal. The contributors' highly original research represents
the best work generated by the International Conference Group on
Modern Portugal at its two major conferences held in 1973 and 1976.
The result is a comprehensive collection of essays discussing in
detail the events leading up to the revolution, the causes of the
military coup, and the movement of a society on the brink of
revolutionary upheaval toward open, democratic parliamentary
elections. As the first interdisciplinary study to span fifty years
of Portuguese history from the Estado Novo of 1926 to the eventual
social democratic republic, this book stands alone in its field.
The specialist as well as the general reader will find insights
into the dynamics of Portugal's people, politics, and economics.
