The Imperial Nation
How the legacy of monarchical empires shaped Britain, France, Spain, and the United States as they became liberal entities Historians view the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries as a turning point when imperial monarchies collapsed and modern nations emerged. Treating this pivotal moment as a bridge rather than a break, The Imperial Nation offers a sweeping examination of four of these modern powers—Great Britain, France, Spain, and the United States—and asks how, after the great revolutionary cycle in Europe and America, the history of monarchical empires shaped these new nations. Josep Fradera explores this transition, paying particular attention to the relations between im...
Max Nettlau’s Utopian Vision
Max Nettlau’s Utopian Vision gives a historically grounded presentation of the entire literature of utopianism. Nettlau shows an encyclopedic knowledge of the subject.

Utopian thinking, according to Nettlau, stimulates the imagination and awakens the desire to attain a better life for everyone. Without it, human progress is impossible.

The Agony of Spanish Liberalism
It was during the period 1913-1923 that the seeds of political polarization and social violence culminating in the Spanish Civil War were sown. This volume explores the causes of the growing schism within Spanish society, focusing on the crisis of the Spanish liberal order, under challenge from newly mobilized forces on both the Right and Left.
Conflict, Domination, and Violence
Conflict, domination, violence—in this wide-ranging, briskly narrated volume from acclaimed Mexican historian Carlos Illades, these three phenomena register the pulse of a diverse, but inequitable and discriminatory, social order. Drawing on rich and varied historical sources, Illades guides the reader through seven signal episodes in Mexican social history, from rebellions under Porfirio Díaz’s dictatorship to the cycles of violence that have plagued the country’s deep south to the recent emergence of neo-anarchist movements. Taken together, they comprise a mosaic history of power and resistance, with artisans, rural communities, revolutionaries, students, and ordinary people confronting the forces of domination and transforming Mexican society.

Conflictos y cicatrices. Fronteras y migraciones en el mundo hispánico
La obra recoge reflexiones y aproximaciones metodológicas a esta problemática de los conflictos y sus cicatrices, en su relación con las fronteras y las migraciones, que han marcado la historia de España y de Iberoamérica, de la Edad Media al siglo XXI, del Mediterráneo al Atlántico y el Pacifico Sus autores son especialistas que, bien desde la historia de las relaciones internacionales o de la historia política, social, cultural, intelectual, o del derecho, analizan esas líneas y frentes de conflicto, pero también la huella de esas heridas y sus consecuencias en función de dos ejes: - La construcción, destrucción (no solo geopolítica sino a través de los intercambios, las circulaciones de personas, objetos e ideas), reconstrucción de fronteras, sin olvidar sus diferentes representaciones. - Las migraciones, los exilios, los debates en torno a las identidades, memorias y representaciones.
