Gunpowder and Incense
Now available in English for the first time, Gunpowder and Incense (translated from the Spanish La Pólvora y el Incienso) chronicles the role of the Church in Spanish politics, looking in particular at the Spanish Civil War. Unlike most books on the subject, Hilari Raguer looks beyond the traditional explanation that the war was primarily a religious struggle. His writing presents an exemplary "insider's" perspective, and is notable for its balance and perception on the role of the Catholic Church before, during and after the War. The material is presented in a lucid, elegant manner - which makes this book as readable as it is historiographically important. It will be vital reading for students and scholars of European, religious and modern history.
Francoist Repression and Incarceration in Contemporary Spanish Culture
This book examines the cultural articulation of Spanish History (and histories (remembered, meaningful experiences). It analyzes how real people and fictional characters experience the rupture of post-war repression, as their vindicating collective memory counters the authoritarian narrative and laws that demonized and criminalized them. The book, that breaks the persistent cycle of denial of Francoist malfeasance, is a resource for scholars and students who research the representation of Spain’s dictatorship, its aftermath and the recovery of postdictatorial memory.

Religión y sociedad en España (siglos xix y xx)
La España contemporánea vivió según su propia cronología, y su propio dramatismo, los cambios y las crisis de las sociedades occidentales. De hecho, las relaciones entre la Iglesia y el Estado orientaron, sin duda mucho más que en otros países, su historia. La hegemonía política y cultural de la España moderna, reivindicada por la derecha, estribaba en el catolicismo. Toda cuestión política tuvo en España un trasfondo religioso puesto que la religión abarcaba todas las esferas de la sociedad y el Estado dependía de la Iglesia. Pero la sacralización por la derecha autoritaria de un pasado glorioso y de la organización estamental del Antiguo Régimen, confundidos con el catoli...

The Pope, the Public, and International Relations
This edited volume engages a long-standing religious power, the Holy See, to discuss the impact of the structural and postsecular transformations of international relations through the emergence of a global and digital public sphere. Despite the legal construction that enables the separation of the Holy See as a distinct legal entity, it is also an instrument for the papacy to represent externally and regulate internally the global and transnational Catholic Church. The Holy See is also the tool that enables the papacy to address a transnational or a global public beyond Catholic adherence – most prominently through journeys that are often at the same time state visits and pastoral journeys. Instead of understanding these hybrid roles as an irregular exemption, the contributions of the book argue that the Holy See should be seen as a certainly special but nevertheless quite normal actor of international and public diplomacy.
