> On the awarded work

Comunismo e Nacionalismo em Portugal: Política, Cultura e História no Século XX
The history of the opposition among the Communist Party and the Estado Novo is , in part, the history of the contradiction between the communist internationalism and the fascist nationalism, but it is also the history of the opposition between two types of nationalism. In Portugal, the communist nationalism cemented itself in the course of the 1940’s, with the reorganization of the Portuguese Communist Party. This book sets from the history of the PCP in order to interpret the relation between communism and nationalism.
