Popular Political Participation and the Democratic Imagination in Spain
This book addresses the changing relationships among political participation, political representation, and popular mobilization in Spain from the 1766 protest in Madrid against the early Bourbon reforms until the citizen revolution of 1868 that first introduced universal suffrage and led to the ousting of the monarchy.

Resistance in the Iberian Worlds from the Fifteenth to the Eighteenth Century
This book highlights the broad scope and span of resistance as a contentious practice in the early modern Iberian world. In this context, from the late Middle Ages onwards, resistance, rooted in the political and legal language of the ‘old regime’ that provided agents with legitimacy and resources for their actions, took place mainly within the established jurisdictional system. These resources for litigation and demand made resistance a widespread kind of contesting practice related to wider protests. The authors assess the wide array of actions developed by individuals and communities to preserve their rights and identities. The book demonstrates how the Portuguese and Hispanic polities and their colonial possessions experienced resistance from below over a long period of change that marked the rise of more centralised states. Offering a comprehensive overview of the variety of forms and expressions of resistance developed in different social, cultural, and territorial contexts, this collection sheds additional light on the relationship between order and conflict within early modern European empires.
Right Before the Storm
Pablo Sánchez has committed himself to following Jesus and to sharing the Good News with everyone he meets. Far from home, he and his family begin to experience not only adventure and success but also hardship and tragedy. And doubts. Are calamities simply the natural result of living in a fallen world? Or reaping the consequences of past moral failures? What if Pablo and his family have been caught up in the plans of powerful, malevolent forces? And if God is in control, why does He seem so distant?
