The Making of Modern Portugal
This book can be read in two different ways: as an introductory synthesis on Modern Portugal, or as a collection of twelve studies focusing on familiar aspects of the State formation of any modern nation throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In this second reading, each chapter opens comparative perspectives on specific topics within some key fields of studies and international debates on modernity, including population, police, empire, technology, bureaucracy, social sciences, rural life, education, religion, nationalism, communism, and economy. Such a wide range of subjects, however, proves comprehensive enough to create a narrative where the reader may also locate the chief t...
Jehovah's Witnesses in Europe
The religious association of Jehovah’s Witnesses has existed for about 150 years in Europe. How Jehovah’s Witnesses found their way in these countries has depended upon the way this missionary association was treated by the majority of the non-Witness population, the government and established churches. In this respect, the history of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Europe is also a history of the social constitution of these countries and their willingness to accept and integrate religious minorities. Jehovah’s Witnesses faced suppression and persecution not only in dictatorships, but also in some democratic states. In other countries, however, they developed in relative freedom. How the different situations in the various national societies affected the religious association and what challenges Jehovah’s Witnesses had to overcome – and still do in part even until our day – is the theme of this history volume.

O Clero catedralício português e os equilíbrios sociais do poder (1564-1670)
Ao longo dos séculos XVI e XVII, ainda que a Coroa e os bispos tenham visto a sua autoridade reforçada, os cabidos mantiveram-se como um corpo privilegiado. Aos cabidos continuou a estar garantida uma margem de autonomia face a quem os queria submetidos e subordinados. Tal provocou inúmeros jogos e lutas de poder no quadro de uma sociedade marcada por uma grande variedade de privilégios e diferentes jurisdições. Uma autêntica fragmentação de poder distribuído, ainda que assimetricamente, por diversos corpos sociais. Entre eles os cabidos, instituições eclesiásticas locais, mas que surgiam como “cabeças do clero” nas lutas em que enfrentavam os avanços quer do poder episcop...
The First Portuguese Republic
The first Portuguese Republic stood between 1910 and 1926. A characteristic of the Republican period was the strong civil participation, particularly by the urban population. Freedom of press and of association became constitutional rights and incentivized a powerful and very diversified associative movement in which trade unions and friendly societies stood out in the political spectrum as they promoted popular education and culture. The time-span studied is characterized by Portugals colonial expansion in Africa, an important factor in Portugals involvement in the Great War. As changes in education, in the concept and structure of family and in the status of women linked with the new polit...
