Review Quotes




"Portuguese sociology has emerged as one of the most interesting in Europe. Filipe Carreira da Silva analyses this remarkable development in a broad context of international intellectual as well as national socio-political history, out of the twilight of a semi-fascist regime, through the latter's revolutionary overthrow, and the country's successful entry into the EU, up to its grappling with the 2008- crisis. In its combination of perceptive intellectual history, empirical discipline development, and interviews with key Portuguese scholars, it is an exemplary work." - Göran Therborn, University of Cambridge, UK

"In this fascinating contribution to Palgrave's series on national histories of sociology, Filipe Carreira da Silva presents a short, illuminating and elegant account of the discipline's trajectory in Portugal. Da Silva frames his history with theoretical sophistication, and readers are treated to a book that is as wide-ranging as it is meticulous. Banned till 1974, sociology in Portugal struggled to become viable. Da Silva tells that story with finesse, tracing sociology's emergence from dictatorship to the internationally oriented discipline it is today. Everyone interested in the paths of European sociology, and not just sociology in Portugal, will profit from this book." - Peter Baehr, Lingnan University, Hong Kong
