The Spanish Frustration
Old troubles with remote origins persist in modern Spain, including huge public debts, extensive corruption, widespread unlawfulness, oligarchical politics, territorial splits, and permanent protests and riots. When did Spain screw up? The Spanish Frustration provides an interpretation of several important aspects of present-day Spain and its past stories. It argues that, in the long term, Spain missed the opportunity to become a consolidated modern nation-state because it was entangled in imperial adventures for several centuries when it should have been building a solid domestic basis for further endeavors. In short: a ruinous empire made a weak state, which built an incomplete nation, which sustains a minority democracy.

Las reconstrucciones de la pasado
El franquismo nació con una visión alternativa a la que había propuesto la II República. La naturaleza política del régimen repercutió directamente en la producción historiográfica, y los historiadores de la época quedaron marcados por un hecho traumático, la Guerra Civil, que les obligó a llevar a cabo una lectura forzada de la Historia, especialmente de algunas etapas históricas. Este trabajo trata de revisar el hipotético calado nacionalista que se arroga a la totalidad de la producción historiográfica posterior a la Guerra Civil, circunscribiendo su análisis de estudio a las dos primeras décadas de la dictadura. Para ello, se analiza el grado en que las Historias genera...
Faces of History
In this book, one of the world's leading intellectual historians offers a critical survey of Western historical thought and writing from the pre-classical era to the late eighteenth century. Donald R. Kelley focuses on persistent themes and methodology, including questions of myth, national origins, chronology, language, literary forms, rhetoric, translation, historical method and criticism, theory and practice of interpretation, cultural studies, philosophy of history, and "historicism." Kelley begins by analyzing the dual tradition established by the foundational works of Greek historiography--Herodotus's broad cultural and antiquarian inquiry and the contrasting model of Thucydides' conte...
Historia Patria
Beginning with the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in 1875 and ending with the death of General Francisco Franco in 1975, this book explores the intersection of education and nationalism in Spain. Based on a broad range of archival and published sources, including parliamentary and ministerial records, pedagogical treatises and journals, teachers' manuals, memoirs, and a sample of over two hundred primary and secondary school textbooks, the study examines ideological and political conflict among groups of elites seeking to shape popular understanding of national history and identity through the schools, both public and private. A burgeoning literature on European nationalisms has posited...
