This book is the result of a collective research exercise on the historical and cultural heritage of Lisbon, questioned from its multiple intersections with the Portuguese colonial and imperial history. Together, the photographer and the authors (academics, activists, museologists and journalists) looked at a diverse range of spaces, actors, institutions and symbols which, among many other possible and relevant ones, reveal the plurality of contemporary reverberations of imperial and colonial histories in Lisbon (including also examples from other localities).

This work contributes, in an original and informed way, to the debates about the (post)imperial and colonial pasts and presents of Portuguese society, as well as about the history(s) and memory(s) associated with them.
