Macià
Amb "Macià", Arrufat escriu no pas un biogradia del cabdill independentista sinó un compendi de reflexions sobre la trajectòria de "l'avi" des de l'època de la Solidaritat Catalana fins a l'aprovació de l'estatut del 1932. El llibre és el seu testament polític, el resum de la seva experiència de lluita per la independència, i el dedica a la joventut catalana dels anys seixanta, quan s'albiren esperances de renaixença nacional. La seva és la visió del separatista dissident, de l'intransigent que defuig la politiqueria, i reflecteix la mentalitat, el sentit de país i l'antiespanyolisme que animava molts joves de les classes populars, lleidatans sobretot, que formaven la base militant d'Estat Català, Esquerra i altres grups de l'època com Nosaltres Sols. Són punyents les reflexions que fa sobre personatges com Marcel.lí Domingo o lluís Nicolau d'Olwer o sobre els procés assambleari que va precedir la fundació d'Esquerra Republicana. És un llibre escrit per un autodidacta, no pas un acadèmic, i precisament aquesta espontaneïtat ens apropa al tremp i l'ambient del conglomerat separatista del qual formava part.
Barcelona: An Urban History of Science and Modernity, 1888-1929
The four decades between the two Universal Exhibitions of 1888 and 1929 were formative in the creation of modern Barcelona. Architecture and art blossomed in the work of Antoni Gaudi and many others. At the same time, social unrest tore the city apart. Topics such as art nouveau and anarchism have attracted the attention of numerous historians. Yet the crucial role of science, technology and medicine in the cultural makeup of the city has been largely ignored. The ten articles of this book recover the richness and complexity of the scientific culture of end of the century Barcelona. The authors explore a broad range of topics: zoological gardens, natural history museums, amusement parks, new...

The Spanish Anarchists and the Russian Revolution, 1917–24
The Spanish Anarchists and the Russian Revolution, 1917–24 explores the impact of the Russian Revolution on the world’s most powerful anarchist movement, the Spanish National Confederation of Labour. The monograph traces the curve of euphoria followed by scepticism that characterized anarchist reactions to the Soviet experiment in 1917–24. This book unearths the interactions between anarchists and Bolsheviks, and assesses their significance for social conflict in Spain and for the foundation of international communism. The Spanish anarchists are a window to examine the global appeal of the Bolsheviks among diverse, non-Marxist militant groups at a time of cross-fertilization for the le...
