In my dissertation I study the solidarity entanglements created by transnational anticolonial activists and members of liberation movements of the Portuguese colonies in the 1960s and early 1970s. Based on multi-sited archival research and oral histories, this reconstruction of support networks in Europe and across the Atlantic enables a detailed conceptualization of the politically driven mobilities of anticolonial and socialist actors in a period in which processes of decolonization and Cold war tensions brought about intense spatial and political reshuffling.
