Flamenco Nation
How did flamenco—a song and dance form associated with both a despised ethnic minority in Spain and a region frequently derided by Spaniards—become so inexorably tied to the country’s culture? Sandie Holguín focuses on the history of the form and how reactions to the performances transformed from disgust to reverance over the course of two centuries. Holguín brings forth an important interplay between regional nationalists and image makers actively involved in building a tourist industry. Soon they realized flamenco performances could be turned into a folkloric attraction that could stimulate the economy. Tourists and Spaniards alike began to cultivate flamenco as a representation of the country's national identity. This study reveals not only how Spain designed and promoted its own symbol but also how this cultural form took on a life of its own.

Poder y actitudes sociales durante la postguerra en Almería (1939-1953)
El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las actitudes sociales de la población almeriense durante la primera década del franquismo. Desde una perspectiva microhistórica y muy próximos a la historia sociocultural y la historia “desde abajo” tratamos de adentrarnos en la relación entre la población y el Nuevo Estado.

El trabajo se estructura en torno a cuatro capítulos. En el primero se analiza la sociedad y la política almeriense durante la crisis de los años treinta (II República y Guerra Civil).
