The Ongoing Revolution: Celebrating 25 of April

A selection that features recent English translations of crucial authors of the Portuguese Carnation Revolution and the ten years of bloody Liberation struggles that preceded the end of the colonial regime. The vintage publications in Portuguese highlight the vibrancy of editorial strategies in the aftermath of the revolution, from artist's postcards to translations of political theory texts that would previously be censored or hard to circulate, such as those from Italy's Lotta Contínua to the US's Black Panthers.

Publications also include insights from heavy-weight philosophers and political economists like Louis Althusser, Ernest Mandel, or Jaime Semprum (a close associate of Guy Debord) who briefly saw in Portugal's Carnation revolution hope for a new form of left politics in Europe. 

A number of the pamphlets included come from artist Ernesto de Sousa's personal collection and were generously contributed by CEMES, Centro de Estudos Multidisciplinares Ernesto de Sousa, and credited in the individual book entry.
