Schooling and the Making of Citizens in the Long Nineteenth Century
This book is a comparative history that explores the social, cultural, and political formation of the modern nation through the construction of public schooling. It asks how modern school systems arose in a variety of different republics and non-republics across four continents during the period from the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. The authors begin with the republican preoccupation with civic virtue – the need to overcome self-interest in order to take up the common interest – which requires a form of education that can produce individuals who are capable of self-guided rational action for the public good. They then ask how these educational preoccupations le...
Exhibiting the Past
With respect to public issues, history matters. With the worldwide interest for historical issues related with gender, religion, race, nation, and identity, public history is becoming the strongest branch of academic history. This volume brings together the contributions from historians of education about their engagement with public history, ranging from musealisation and alternative ways of exhibiting to new ways of storytelling.

An account of the fierce repression and economic misery in wartime Spain 1936-45.
The Last Survivor
This book proposes an interpretation of Francoism as the Spanish variant of fascism. Unlike Italian fascism and Nazism, the Franco regime survived the Second World War and continued its existence until the death of dictator Francisco Franco. Francoism was, therefore, the Last Survivor of the fascisms of the interwar period. And indeed this designation applies equally to Franco. The work begins with an analysis of the historical identity of Spanish fascism, constituted in the process of fascistization of the Spanish right during the crisis of the Second Republic, and consolidated in the formation of the fascist single-party and the New State during the civil war. Subsequent chapter contributi...

Memory and Spatiality in Post-Millennial Spanish Narrative
Focusing on literary texts produced from 2000 to 2009, Lorraine Ryan examines the imbrication between the preservation of Republican memory and the transformations of Spanish public space during the period from 1931 to 2005. Accordingly, Ryan analyzes the spatial empowerment and disempowerment of Republican memory and identity in Dulce Chacón’s Cielos de barro, Ángeles López’s Martina, la rosa número trece, Alberto Méndez’s ’Los girasoles ciegos,’ Carlos Ruiz Zafón ́s La sombra del viento, Emili Teixidor’s Pan negro, Bernardo Atxaga’s El hijo del acordeonista, and José María Merino’s La sima. The interrelationship between Republican subalternity and space is redefine...

This book builds on the Editors’ previous work on the analysis of policy borrowing processes in education.

The countries covered include England, Spain, Germany, France, Austria, Japan and South Africa.
A la revolución por la cultura
Se ha destacado en diversas ocasiones la importancia que los libertarios españoles otorgaron a la cultura y la educación como instrumentos indispensables de su proyecto emancipador y de transformación social. Este libro es un análisis no tanto las declaraciones programáticas o de intenciones, las opiniones 'oficiales' o las grandes líneas del discurso ácrata en torno a estos temas, como de las características y el contenido de las prácticas culturales concretas desplegadas por los anarquistas y anarcosindicalistas valencianos durante los años de la Segunda República y la Guerra Civil (1931-1939), especialmente en sus perfiles más reales y cotidianos. Éstas, lejos de tener una im...
