"A Complacent Memory? Approaches to Change in Lisbon During the Revolutionary Period (1974-1975)"

 

Joe Green looks at the ways in which Lisbon changed during the revolutionary period following the 25th April coup which ended Portugal's Estado Novo dictatorship and preceding the introduction of democracy. Specifically, he analyses the naming of streets, removal of statues and actions of political parties and civic groups. His research is conducted within the field of memory studies, and seeks to understand the direction in which the country moved by analysing attitudes towards and representations of the recent past.
