Josep Sánchez Cervelló

Esto no es un libro académico al uso, aunque prestigiosos académicos aborden el estudio de la obra de Josep Sánchez Cervelló, sino un sincero ofrecimiento a una persona singular que no dejó nunca de sembrar empatía por donde quiera que pasara, a lo largo de su brillante trayectoria académica. Como suele decirse, serían infinitos los llamados y necesariamente pocos los elegidos. El resultado de no haber puesto inevitables restricciones por razones de tiempo y espacio habría derivado en un libro de varios tomos, que hubiera sido impublicable por nosotros, sus fraternales amigos. Solo recoge quien ha sembrado y Josep Sánchez Cervelló, como sabiamente advirtió Platón, nunca dejó crecer la hierba en el camino de la amistad. Por esa prístina razón, los autores de este libro podemos reproducir el lema que dejó por escrito el gran poeta norteamericano, Walt Whitman, en Leaves of Grass (Hojas de Hierba, en español), traducido por León Felipe para fortuna del mundo hispánico que no pueda leerlo en inglés: «Camarada, esto no es un libro. Quien lo toca, toca un hombre».

Violence and Gender in Africa's Iberian Colonies

This book examines how and why Portugal and Spain increasingly engaged with women in their African colonies in the crucial period from the 1950s to the 1970s. It explores the rhetoric of benevolent Iberian colonialism, gendered Westernization, and development for African women as well as actual imperial practices – from forced resettlement to sexual exploitation to promoting domestic skills. Focusing on Angola, Mozambique, Western Sahara, and Equatorial Guinea, the author mines newly available and neglected documents, including sources from Portuguese and Spanish women’s organizations overseas. They offer insights into how African women perceived and responded to their assigned roles within an elite that was meant to preserve the empires and stabilize Afro-Iberian ties. The book also retraces parallels and differences between imperial strategies regarding women and the notions of African anticolonial movements about what women should contribute to the struggle for independence and the creation of new nation-states.

Conflict, Memory Transfers and the Reshaping of Europe

Conflict, Memory Transfers and the Reshaping of Europe discusses processes of memory construction associated with the realities of war and genocide, totalitarianism, colonialism as well as trans-border dialogues in the overcoming of conflict memories. It is based on the premise that there are no available clear-cut or definite positions to approach the problematic issues of conflict, memory and history. Consequently, it examines and articulates across several different media discourses, problems, contexts and considerations of value. Its scope is thus deliberately interdisciplinary, drawing on the cross-fertilization of diverse research methods. The book addresses a number of issues and rais...

Las Brigadas Internacionales

Las Brigadas Internacionales forman parte indisociable de nuestra memoria histórica asociada a la Guerra Civil, una memoria histórica bien distinta según de qué lado de las trincheras se estuviera, así como de la ideología y valores de los que nos hagamos partícipes los españoles y cuantos extranjeros los asuman como propios. Sobre ellas no dejan de aparecer estudios e investigaciones como los que hoy se reúnen aquí, que tienen su origen en algunas de las ponencias y comunicaciones presentadas en el Congreso Internacional del Antifascismo Combatiente, desde las Brigadas Internacionales a la “resistencia”, que tuvo lugar en Barcelona con motivo del 75.º aniversario de la creación de las Brigadas los días 27, 28 y 29 de octubre de 2011. Participaron en tal evento destacados especialistas españoles y extranjeros que abordaron la cuestión desde diversas perspectivas enriqueciendo así nuestro cocimiento de su participación en la GCE y su significación histórica.

The Making of Portuguese Democracy

This vividly-written book is the first comprehensive assessment of the origins of the present-day democratic regime in Portugal to be placed in a broad international historical context. After a vibrant account of the collapse of the old regime in 1974, it studies the complex revolutionary period that followed, and the struggle in Europe and Africa to define the future role of Europe's then poorest country. International repercussions are examined and comparisons are drawn with the more general collapse of communism in the late 1980s.

Power Struggles

Wind energy is often portrayed as a panacea for the environmental and political ills brought on by an overreliance on fossil fuels, but this characterization may ignore the impact wind farms have on the regions that host them. Power Struggles investigates the uneven allocation of risks and benefits in the relationship between the regions that produce this energy and those that consume it. Jaume Franquesa considers Spain, a country where wind now constitutes the main source of energy production. In particular, he looks at the Southern Catalonia region, which has traditionally been a source of energy production through nuclear reactors, dams, oil refineries, and gas and electrical lines. Despi...
