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.
Bilingualism and Identity
Sociolinguists have been pursuing connections between language and identity for several decades. But how are language and identity related in bilingualism and multilingualism? Mobilizing the most current methodology, this collection presents new research on language identity and bilingualism in three regions where Spanish coexists with other languages. The cases are Spanish-English contact in the United States, Spanish-indigenous language contact in Latin America, and Spanish-regional language contact in Spain. This is the first comparativist book to examine language and identity construction among bi- or multilingual speakers while keeping one of the languages constant. The sociolinguistic standing of Spanish varies among the three regions depending whether or not it is a language of prestige. Comparisons therefore afford a strong constructivist perspective on how linguistic ideologies affect bi/multilingual identity formation.

Embolica que fa fort
En el context de l’actualitat espanyola de la segona dècada del segle xxi, sorgeix la figura del psicòleg Lluc Maria Blanc Claret, un xicot de Blancafort que malgrat haver fet cursos de grafologia i hipnologia amb el professor Chu Lyn de Bellpuig i un doctorat a la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, li costa trobar un treball que l’ompli. És aleshores que decideix ampliar la seva formació a l’estranger. De tornada, aconsegueix un contracte com assessor del Partido Popular, fins que guanya la plaça de Cap del Departament de Relacions Personals i Mentalitat Transaccional de la Generalitat. Finalment ha pogut deixar enrere la feina de «guardià de la mort» al tanatori de Gavà, d’hipnotitzador d’aviram a Mollerussa i a la gent del president M punto Rajoy a Madrid. L’estiu de 2017, quan el moviment independentista a Catalunya està en plena ebullició, coneix l’emir de Qatar a qui, després d’un fet extraordinari, li demana un parell de favors: un de personal i l’altre per fer feliç la mare. I el xeic en pren nota...
