A Dept to the Revolution. The Ways of Studying the History of Portuguese Anthropology

Abstract

The History of Anthropology in Portugal began to be systematized after the 1974 Carnation Revolution, which ended the country’s dictatorship. In this paper we look at how the History of Portuguese Anthropology has been studied. That History includes some solid published contributions, as well as a number of individual articles that also help understand the context. On the one hand we seek to highlight the main ideas and discussions contained in that bibliography, while on the other suggesting possible paths which the History of Anthropology in Portugal could take in the future.
