The book "Memories of the Second World War in Neutral Europe, 1945–2023" includes three chapters authored by IHC historians:
Irene Flunser Pimentel on refugees in Portugal; Helena Pinto Janeiro on #WWII memorials; and Pedro Aires Oliveira analyses Portuguese neutrality as featured on recent films.
Here are a few pics from our #SummerSchool, that took place at the University of Évora.
This year's theme was the importance of commemorations and memorialization in heritage studies and practices, given that we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution.
In a paper published in Contemporary European History, Victor Barros analyses how the monuments erected in Cape Verde to memorialise the ‘discoverers’ acted in the construction of the public memory of the 'discovery' of the #CapeVerde islands".

The blog post’s mostly centred around #HistoricalMemory / #MemoriaHistorica: how and why he’s remembered differently and how activists and academics are challenging this long-standing narrative in what's been termed Spain’s ongoing ‘memory wars.’ The blog post also includes updates on the recent Democratic Memory Law passed only a few a weeks ago.

Buenos días, dear pachyderms (especially #histodons and #Iberianists). If you are interested in following an on-site reporter who covers issues pertaining to #humanrights and #HistoricalMemory (#memoriahistorica) in #Spain, consider following Willy Veleta, who is physically present, camera-in-hand, at numerous exhumations of human remains buried in out-of-the-way places during the brutal Francoist repression after the Spanish Civil War. He also covers current events in the streets of Madrid and other parts of Spain. In Spanish. Here is his handle, which links to his page: @VeletaWilly
