DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\nApril 20, 2014 - 10:30 am to 12:30 
 pm\n\nClass Struggles of the Portuguese Revolution: A View Through Graphic 
 Art\n\nOn the 40th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution, Sharat G. Lin 
 takes a look at the explosion of political activism and party formation 
 triggered by overthrow of the dictatorship of Marcelo Caetano on April 25, 
 1974 by disaffected mid-level army officers.  The nonviolent mutiny not 
 only opened the way for free elections and ended Portuguese colonialism in 
 Africa and Timor, but at its peak actually effected the nationalization, 
 land reforms, collectivization, and worker takeovers of as much as 80 per 
 cent of the productive capacity of the country.  This period of epic 
 upheaval and gradual undoing is viewed through the graphic art of the 
 Processo Revolucionário Em Curso (PREC) or Ongoing Revolutionary 
 Process.\nDr. Sharat G. Lin writes on global political economy, the Middle 
 East, South Asia, labor migration, and public health.  He is a contributing 
 author to the book Studies in Inequality and Social Justice.   He spent two 
 months in Tahrir Square during 2009-2012, including during the initial 
 uprising that overthrew President Mubarak.   He is a research fellow at the 
 San José Peace and Justice Center. \n\n6501 Telegraph Avenue in Oakland \n
