A morte de Galicia
A obsesión que o groso das elites sociais, políticas e culturais amosan dende hai máis dunha década polo suposto «inverno demográfico» que asola Galicia, coincide no tempo co inicio da quinta vaga emigratoria que sacode o país ao longo da súa historia. É a primeira da democracia, pasados trinta anos da ocorrida en 1950-1975, despois do gasto de cuantiosas axudas europeas destinadas dende 1986 a crear emprego, e afecta xa a máis de 380.000 mozos e mozas, un de cada dous con estudos medios ou superiores. A resposta das autoridades galegas a esta importante perda de capital humano e do seu potencial demográfico consistiu na difusión social do natalismo. Unha ideoloxía caracterizad...
The United Kingdom and Spain in the Eighteenth Century
This book seeks to bridge a gap in the historiography of Spain and Great Britain by arguing that while the eighteenth century witnessed periods of tension, conflict and hostility between the two powers, their relationship remained multifaceted and significant in other spheres. Throughout the eighteenth century, Spain and Great Britain passed through phases of open warfare, armed peace and deep suspicion. The British capture of Gibraltar and Menorca dealt a severe blow to the newly established Bourbon dynasty in Spain. Even in times of war, however, not all communication channels were closed, with numerous formal and informal contacts being made despite the volatile political climate and enmi...
Between the Middle Ages and Modernity
This groundbreaking book examines the complex relationships between individuals and communities in the profound transitions of the early modern period. Taking a global and comparative approach to historical issues, the distinguished contributors show that individual and community created and recreated one another in the major structures, interactions, and transitions of early modern times. Offering an important contribution to our understanding both of the early modern period and of its historiography, this volume will be an invaluable resource for scholars working in the fields of medieval, early modern, and modern history, and on the Renaissance and Reformation.
Domestic Service and the Formation of European Identity
Before the Servant Project began its activities, on the initiative of the editor of this book, the long term history of domestic service was still in its beginning stage. This volume is the first wide-ranging attempt to determine the role of domestic workers both in past and present times. Domestic service was of major importance in the multi-secular process of urbanization and socio-economic development of European societies. Today, domestic workers (mainly women) represent an important component of international labour migrations to Western countries. Instead of disappearing, as expected for a long time, paid domestic work is currently experiencing a kind of «resurgence». The contributions assembled in this volume analyze the situation of domestic workers, and contribute to improve knowledge concerning their individual characteristics (gender, ethnic group, religion), origin, motivation and cultural identity, relationship with their own families and those of the employers. Further topics are connections with the home country and place of destination, legal status, rights and duties, in order to understand the current globalization of domestic work.
Historia das historias de Galicia
No seo da sociedade galega actual circulan distintas historias arredor da importancia que tiveron os celtas na nosa cultura, sobre a orixe do vello Reino de Galicia, a «doma e castración da nobreza», a existencia dos Séculos Escuros, a chegada e instalación dos cataláns, o fusilamento dos Mártires de Carral ou o suposto «atraso secular» de Galicia. Unhas historias cuxo contido e sentido leva mudado en función das distintas conxunturas políticas e culturais polas que atravesou o país. Malia iso, e ata o de agora, rara vez os historiadores prestaron atención a eses cambios e mudanzas, ás súas implicacións sociais, culturais ou ideolóxicas ou ao que realmente se agocha tras elas. Os traballos recollidos neste volume tratan de pór remedio a este esquecemento, desvelando así aspectos pouco coñecidos -e mesmo inéditos- do noso pasado colectivo.
