The catalog of the exhibition of the same name held in Lisbon in 2023 is the story of a journey made up of many journeys. The 56 photographs collected here, some unpublished, others published in Italy in photographic catalogs of the 1970s or in European magazines and newspapers of the time, are just a sample of Uliano Lucas' vast collection of images on this theme.

The book is divided into three parts corresponding to three territories photographed by Uliano Lucas between 1969 and 1974: the first section, entitled Guinea-Bissau, 1969, brings together some of the photos taken during the mission that took him to the “liberated zones” of Guinea, at the request of the PAIGC; the second section – Angola, 1972 – includes images of the daily life of MPLA guerrillas; the third and final section is entitled Portugal, 1972 and 1974 and depicts aspects of daily life in the country during the last period of the dictatorship (1972) and the days of celebration of the Revolution (1974).
