14 de Abril, la República

Con este libro, un ABC de la República escrito con rigor por el historiador don Ángel Bahamonde, asesor de la serie, nos convertimos en testigos directos de esos días tan emocionantes.

A challenging re-examination of Spanish history, questioning orthodoxies about Spain's economy and society.
El mundo contemporáneo
La gran síntesis histórica de los dos siglos que han configurado nuestro mundo ahora ampliada con los primeros años del siglo XXI. Nuestra visión del mundo se ha transformando de un modo radical en los últimos doscientos años. Este libro interpreta, desde una perspectiva histórica, las claves del mundo contemporáneo y analiza las líneas básicas de lo que solemos denominar el «largo» siglo XIX y el «corto» siglo XX, con una incursión prospectiva de las rutas abiertas por el tercer milenio. A finales del siglo XVIII, en los umbrales de la modernidad, el mundo era grande en la distancia pero realmente pequeño en el espacio conocido. Hoy sucede justamente lo contrario. Hemos pasa...
Visions of Filth
This book explores how notions of deviancy and social control are dramatized in the novels of the late nineteenth-century Spanish realist author Benito Pérez Galdós. Galdós’s treatment of prostitutes, alcoholics, beggars and vagrants is studied within the context of the socio-cultural and medical debates circulating during the period. Drawing on Foucault’s very specific conceptualization of the idea of control through discourses, the book analyzes how Galdós’s novels interacted with contemporary debates on poverty and deviancy – notably, discourses on hygiene, domesticity and philanthropy. It is proposed that Galdós’s view of marginal social groups was much more open-minded, shrewd and liberal than the often inflexible pronouncements made by contemporary professional voices.
On the Road to Global Labour History
Global Labour History is a latecomer to historical science. It has only developed in the last three decades. This anthology provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art. Prominent representatives of the discipline discuss its fundamental methodological and conceptual aspects. In addition, the volume contains field and case studies from Africa and Latin America, as well as from the Middle East and China. In these studies, the local, regional and continental constitutive processes of the working class are discussed from a global-historical perspective. The anthology has been composed as a Festschrift dedicated to Marcel van der Linden, the leading theoretician of, and networker for, Global Labour History.
Raising Heirs to the Throne in Nineteenth-Century Spain
This book analyses royal education in nineteenth-century, constitutional Spain. Its main subjects are Isabel II (1830- 1904), Alfonso XII (1857-1885) and Alfonso XIII (1886-1941) during their time as monarchs-in-waiting. Their upbringing was considered an opportunity to shape the future of Spain, reflected the political struggles that emerged during the construction of a liberal state, and allowed for the modernisation of the monarchy. The education of heirs to the throne was taken seriously by contemporaries and assumed wider political, social and cultural significance. This volume is structured around three powerful groups which showed an active interest, influenced, and significantly shaped royal education: the court, the military, and the public. It throws new light on the position of the Spanish monarchy in the constitutional state, its ability to adapt to social, political, and cultural change, and its varied sources of legitimacy, power, and attraction.
