This interview was held in Lisbon in January 2020. At the time, Dipesh Chakrabarty was visiting Lisbon to participate as a keynote speaker in a congress on the Anthropocene, organized by Fundação Culturgest and Centro Interuniversitário de História das Ciências e da Tecnologia, University of Lisbon. This interview focuses exclusively on Provincializing Europe – Postcolonial Thought and Historical Difference. Throughout the last two decades, Provincializing Europe became one of the most influential books in the field of History, with far-reaching implications for theoretical debates on the status of the discipline, ranging from the ethical to the methodological dimensions of its practice. Planned to be part of Práticas da História special issue on the 20th anniversary of Provincializing Europe, our conversation with Dipesh Chakrabarty covers, among other issues, his formative years, his move to Australia and his relation with Marxism.

Histórias da PIDE
Quando o Salazar mandava. Volume 1
Em 1965, o General Humberto Delgado, inimigo público número 1 de Salazar, foi assassinado perto de Badajoz por uma brigada da PIDE. A chefiá‑la estava Rosa Casaco, que, fugido do país a seguir ao 25 de Abril de 1974, viria a ser condenado a oito anos de prisão e a tornar‑se, após uma entrevista incluída neste livro, um dos rostos mais emblemáticos desta força policial.
Sólido e temido bastião do Estado Novo, ninguém escapava ao raio de ação da PIDE: nem Calouste Gulbenkian, o homem mais rico do mundo, que foi preso em 1942; nem o ex‑Presidente da República Marechal Craveiro Lopes, vítima de chantagem de carácter sexual; nem sequer o bispo D. Eurico Dias Nogueira, submetido a constante vigilância, com cartas interceptadas até para o Vaticano e para o próprio Salazar.
Estas são algumas das Histórias da PIDE que José Pedro Castanheira investigou ao longo dos anos para o Expresso, todas reportando neste volume ao período de Salazar. O segundo volume incidirá sobre a época de Marcello Caetano.
