Josep Grau-Garriga
... Grau-Garriga choisit sa palette de différences, d'antinomies, d'oppositions, de paradoxes. Il tisse l'intime et l'éclatant, le sensible et le réfléchi, la tendresse et l'intensité, le grave et l'humour, l'histoire du monde (celle, en particulier, de la Catalogne) et les souvenirs de son enfance, la rigueur et les passions, la jubilation et l'inquiétude, l'amour de la vie et le tragique, le monumental et le poétique. Intuitif, imaginatif, subtil, il avance par des associations arborescentes. Sa pensée trouve des tours et des détours, des méandres, des zigzags. Il explore toujours de nouvelles voies. Il refuse le " déjà vu ", le " déjà fait ", les stéréotypes, le figé, le ...
Land, Proto-Industry and Population in Catalonia, c. 1680-1829
This monograph makes a fresh contribution to a longstanding but far from exhausted debate concerning the transition to capitalism in Europe. The work investigates key aspects of this transformation: the changes on the land, the origins of the industrial revolution, the modern rise of population and the growth of markets. It does so from a new perspective, however, by focusing on an area of southern Europe, Catalonia. Catalonia's interest as an area for study lies in its precocity within a southern European context, as one of the few regions on the European periphery to industrialise in comparable ways and at the same time as areas of northern Europe. Population growth was similarly rapid. Th...
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...
Christianity and National Identity in Twentieth-Century Europe
This collection explores how Christian individuals and institutions – whether Churches, church-related organisations, clergy, or lay thinkers – combined the topics of faith and national identity in twentieth-century Europe. "National identity" is understood in a broad sense that includes discourses of citizenship, narratives of cultural or linguistic belonging, or attributions of distinct, "national" characteristics. The collection addresses Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox perspectives, considers various geographical contexts, and takes into account processes of cross-national exchange and transfer. It shows how national and denominational identities were often mutually constitutive, ...
Anarchism, Revolution, and Reaction
The period from 1898 to 1923 was a particularly dramatic one in Spanish history; it culminated in the violent Barcelona "labor wars" and was only brought to a close with the coup d'état launched by the Barcelona Captain General, Miguel Primo de Rivera, in September 1923. In his detailed examination of the rise of the Catalan anarchist-syndicalist-led labor movement, the author blends social, cultural and political history in a novel way. He analyses the working class "from below" and the policies of the Spanish State towards labor "from above." Based on an in-depth usage of primary sources, the authors provides an unrivalled account of Catalan labor and the Catalan anarchist-syndicalist movement and thus makes an important contribution to our understanding of early twentieth-century Spanish history.
