Nationalism and Transnationalism in Spain and Latin America, 18081923
The twin focus of this book is on the importance of the Spanish heritage on nation and state building in nineteenth-century Spanish-speaking Latin America, alongside processes of nation and state building in Spain and Latin America. Rather than concentrating purely on nationalism and national identity, the book explores the linkages that remained or were re-established between Spain and her former colonies; as has increasingly been recognised in recent decades, the nineteenth century world was marked by the rise of the modern nation state, but also by the development of new transnational connections, and this book accounts for these processes within a Hispanic context.
Food and Religious Identities in Spain, 1400-1600
In the late fourteenth century, the Iberian Peninsula was home to three major religions which coexisted in relative peace. Over the next two centuries, various political and social factors changed the face of Iberia dramatically. This book examines this period of dynamic change in Iberian history through the lens of food and its relationship to religious identity. It also provides a basis for further study of the connection between food and identities of all types. This study explores the role of food as an expression of religious identity made evident in things like fasting, feasting, ingredient choices, preparation methods and commensal relations. It considers the role of food in the formation and redefinition of religious identities throughout this period and its significance in the maintenance of ideological and physical boundaries between faiths. This is an insightful and unique look into inter-religious dynamics. It will therefore be of great interest to scholars of religious studies, early modern European history and food studies.
Relocating the History of Science
This volume is put together in honor of a distinguished historian of science, Kostas Gavroglu, whose work has won international acclaim, and has been pivotal in establishing the discipline of history of science in Greece, its consolidation in other countries of the European Periphery, and the constructive dialogue of these emerging communities with an extended community of international scholars. The papers in the volume reflect Gavroglu’s broad range of intellectual interests and touch upon significant themes in recent history and philosophy of science. They include topics in the history of modern physical sciences, science and technology in the European periphery, integrated history and philosophy of science, historiographical considerations, and intersections with the history of mathematics, technology and contemporary issues. They are authored by eminent scholars whose academic and personal trajectories crossed with Gavroglu’s. The book will interest historians and philosophers of science and technology alike, as well as science studies scholars, and generally readers interested in the role of the sciences in the past in various geographical contexts.

Diario de viaje a Estados Unidos
Publicación de uno de los escasos testimonios autobiográficos que hasta el momento se han localizado de pensionados en el extranjero de la Junta para Ampliación de Estudios. Carmen Castilla (1895-1979), una maestra que había establecido una estrecha relación con María de Maeztu en la Residencia de Señoritas, en virtud de un acuerdo entre esta institución y Smith College viajó a esta elitista universidad para mujeres de Massachusetts durante el curso 1921-1922 para enseñar español y estudiar zoología, genética y pedagogía. El diario que escribió durante esos meses, que se saca a luz con un amplio estudio introductorio, edición crítica y notas del profesor Santiago López-Ríos Moreno e ilustrado con numerosas fotografías inéditas, constituye un texto fascinante tanto como documento autobiográfico femenino íntimo como por su visión de la "América de las ilusiones".
