El relato nacional
José Álvarez Junco y Gregorio de la Fuente analizan en este ensayo el proceso de construcción de la idea de España por parte de políticos nacionalistas, historiadores y otras élites culturales. «Es habitual en toda sociedad humana que las narraciones sobre su pasado, más que indignaciones guiadas por un mero interés por el conocimiento, sean ante todo pilares básicos sobre los que se edifica la identidad colectiva. Versan sobre los padres de la patria, sus héroes y mártires, los valores perennes sobre los que se fundamenta la identidad colectiva, todo lo cual escapa a cualquier crítica historiográfica o simplemente racional. Quien intente poner en duda estos relatos heredados a...

Nationalism and Transnationalism in Spain and Latin America, 18081923
The twin focus of this book is on the importance of the Spanish heritage on nation and state building in nineteenth-century Spanish-speaking Latin America, alongside processes of nation and state building in Spain and Latin America.

Architecture for Spain's Recovered Democracy
Historical studies on the involvement of architecture in twentieth-century politics have overlooked its contribution to building Spain’s democracy. This pioneering book seeks to fill that void. Between the late 1970s and early 1990s, Spain founded representative institutions, launched its welfare state, and devolved autonomy to its regions. The study brings forth the architectural incarnation of that threefold program as it deployed in the Valencian Country, a Catalan-speaking region on Spain’s Mediterranean shores. There, social democratic authorities mobilized architects, planners, and graphic artists to devise a newly open public sphere and to recover a local identity that Franco’s ...
