España como escenario. Política y acción cultural de diplomáticos latinoamericanos (1880-1936)
Este libro se centra en el papel de la acción cultural desarrollada por algunos personajes latinoamericanos que residieron en España entre 1880 y 1936. A través de diversos enfoques analíticos, se abordan las trayectorias de diplomáticos de diferente rango que, al margen del ejercicio de sus funciones de representación, actuaron en la vida cultural española. Las diferentes aportaciones se sustentan sobre un amplio repertorio de fuentes procedentes en buena medida de los Archivos Nacionales y de Relaciones Exteriores de España, México, Uruguay, Guatemala, Colombia, Perú y Chile, así como de otros repositorios públicos y privados de Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga, Huelva y Barranquilla.

Diplomacia y acción cultural americana en la España de Primo de Rivera
El eje que articula las diferentes aportaciones contenidas en este libro cruza la acción de la diplomacia y de agentes culturales americanos que se emplearon, ya fuera de manera oficial o privada, en promover o participar en iniciativas que tuvieron lugar en la coyuntura de la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera. En el impulso que el régimen se propuso dar a las relaciones con América, que pasó a ocupar un lugar destacado en la política exterior, la Exposición Iberoamericana de Sevilla fue, sin duda, la manifestación simbólica de mayor envergadura. A través de distintas aportaciones, esta cuestión es analizada aquí bajo el prisma del diálogo entre políticos y otros agentes sociales en tiempos de afirmación de la diplomacia, tanto de la oficial como de la paralela. Por otro lado, algunas contribuciones centran su atención en otro tipo de hitos, políticos y culturales, que traducen aspectos diferentes de las relaciones trasatlánticas en tiempos del directorio primorriverista.
This is a Dictatorship
"What happens to a country when one person makes all the rules? What would it feel like to live in such a place? And why is it important for us to know about? This book, first written in Spain soon after the end of the Franco dictatorship, set out to explain dictatorship to the next generation. The authors believed, as the Spanish publishers of this book put it, that "Children are interested in everything adults are interested in. You must explain things to them, even if it requires effort." Forty years later, reillustrated with stunning images by Mikel Casal (who himself grew up under Franco's regime), its message remains as timely as ever"--Page 4 of cover.
