Language, Democracy, and Devolution in Catalonia
The issue of human rights becomes very complex when applied to language. 'Individual' rights have little meaning in this domain. People do not ask for the right to speak to themselves, they ask for the right to use their language within their group. Where populations are heterogenous, such rights are difficult to ensure. Language can be a powerful means of inclusion and exclusion and this is particularly true in democratic societies where debate is central to the process. This book looks at these fundamental questions in the context of Catalonia.
The Social Construction of Diversity
Though the composition of the populace of industrial nations has changed dramatically since the 1950s, public discourse and scholarship, however, often remain welded to traditional concepts of national cultures, ignoring the multicultural realities of most of today's western societies.

Far from being an external factor of society, this volume shows, diversity has become an integral part of people's lives, affecting their personal, institutional, and economic interaction.
Versos de la guerra i de l'exili
Artur Bladé i Desumvila (Benissanet, 1907- Barcelona, 1995) és un dels grans memorialistes de la literatura catalana contemporània.

L’antologia duta a terme per Joan Maria Pujals, Versos de la guerra i de l’exili, dóna a conèixer el vessant poètic de l’autor a través d’una selecció significativa dels poemes conservats.
