The role of Brazil in the History of Spain and Portugal

Abstract

This interview with professor Pedro Cardim, Professor of History at the FSCH-Nova of Lisbon, was held on 2 May 2018. In this interview, the historian makes a comprehensive review of his professional, academic and research activities, ranging from his university training to the results of his latest studies. The aim of the interview is to reflect upon the importance of Brazil and Spanish America for understanding the past of Portugal and Spain. In this regard, taking Pedro Cardim’s career as a guide, several topics emerge in the interview, such as the attention given in Portugal to its common past with Brazil and Spain, the growing variety of challenges that American historiography has to deal with, as well as the increasing need to understand these three countries according to their connections and exchanges throughout history. In this way, Pedro Cardim contributes to the reflection of studying the past to understand the present and, more specifically, to the important role of Brazil in our current understanding of Spain and Portugal.
