Jochen Moll is one of many international photographers who visited the country and created books, zines and newspapers on this period and context, revealing the effervescent editorial practice that developed after 25 April 1974.
Moll visited the country in the autumn of 1974 and the spring of 1975, going to photograph the peasants in the agricultural areas of Portugal, and so the question must be asked why include a tourist image of Grândola on the cover? As Moll and Karau explain in their introduction, this is due to José Afonso's ubiquitous iconic song ‘Granola, Vila Morena’, on their travels in the country.A graphic work that skilfully combines black and white images and colour photos with a marked socialist trait.
