Author Carlos Enes and Translated to English by Diniz Borges,
“Azorean History Themes: Islands of Struggle and Resilience” is a powerful and engaging journey through the often-overlooked History of the Azores. In this compelling collection, historian Carlos Enes explores pivotal moments of resistance, mythmaking, and identity formation in the archipelago — from the heroic stand of Terceira Island against Spanish domination in the 16th century to the long fight against fascism and the shaping of Azorean autonomy in the 20th.
These essays shine a light on the voices of the “minors” — artisans, workers, and everyday citizens — who helped forge a rebellious, democratic, and resilient Azorean spirit. This is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the deep roots and dynamic evolution of the Azorean identity across time».
