The Revolution before the Revolution

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"[This volume] is methodologically solid, empirically rich and theoretically innovative and will be an indispensable read to anyone interested in the history of authoritarianism and social movements in postwar Europe, scholarly or not." * Democratization



"The Revolution before the Revolution is a landmark study, bringing us an insightful look into student mobilization against authoritarianism which will be of interest not only to students and scholars of Southern European democratization, but also to those concerned with the dynamics of opposition to authoritarianism in a wide range of settings." * Social History



"This is an excellent study of the political mobilization of students in the long 1960s and its global diffusion in an authoritarian setting. It will be essential reading for students of social movements and political and cultural change in Europe." * Antonio Costa Pinto, University of Lisbon



"While there have been important studies of the rural and labor movements against the Portuguese dictatorship, the era's student movements have for the most part not yet been approached in the same vein. Guya Accornero's book on the subject combines important empirical research with a clear theoretical framework, making a contribution that is relevant beyond just Portuguese history." * Rafael Duran-Munoz, Universidad de Malaga
