Llengua i política en el pensament d'Antoni Rovira i Virgili
La trajectòria vital d’Antoni Rovira i Virgili (1882-1949) va lligada al moviment social i polític que es produeix a Catalunya al primer terç del segle XX per convertir el català en una llengua nacional. En aquest estudi, Jordi Ginebra, professor de la Universitat Rovira i Virgili, ens presenta els avatars d’una història complexa, apassionant de seguir i rica en incitacions per a la reflexió sobre el present.

Writing a Small Nation's Past
This is the first volume to examine how the history of Wales was written in a period that saw the emergence of professional historiography, largely focused on the nation, across Europe and in the United States. It thus sets Wales in the context of recent work on national history writing in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and, more particularly, offers a Welsh perspective on the ways in which history was written in small, mainly stateless, nations.

Essays on Transculturation and Catalan-Cuban Intellectual History
This book examines the cultural production of Catalan intellectuals in Cuba through a reading of texts and journeys that show the contrapuntal relationship between transcultural identities and narratives of nationhood. Both the concept of transculturation and its instrumentalization to tame conflict within nationalist projects are problematic. By uncovering and examining the contradictions between the fluid character of identities in the Cuban context of the first half of the twentieth century and nationalist discourses, within both the Catalanist community of Havana and Cuban society, this book joins wider debates about identities.
Historical Dictionary of the Catalans
In this reference, Buffery and Marcer cover all of the areas historically inhabited by the Catalan people. These are, in order of size and population: Catalonia, which accounts for over half of the population of the Catalan-speaking areas; Valencia, with over a third; the Balearic Islands with just under 8 percent; and the Catalunya Nord, the Principality of Andorra, and the Catalan-speaking areas within Aragon, Murcia, and Alghero. The Historical Dictionary of the Catalans deals not only with the people who live in Catalonia, but with the language and culture of the Catalan countries as well. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 600 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, places, events, institutions, and aspects of culture, society, economy, and politics.
Making Agreements in Medieval Catalonia
