Every book relating the history of modern architecture features a large number of pages dedicated to avant-garde designs and the formation of the modern movement in the interwar years, and a similar number devoted to reconstruction and expansion after the Second World War. Meanwhile, as if owing to lack of understanding or convenient silence, there is void of dark years, of wars, exile and misfortune about which little can be said. However, it was in these dark times, as in so many other revealing moments in the history of culture, that experimental and profoundly invigorating experiences were taking place. Architects and artists voluntarily or forcibly driven to the margins of social importance began to react to a culturally unsustainable situation of which we know very little even today. In Experiments with Life Itself, Francisco Gonzalez de Canales studies a series of unrelated cases from the late 1930s to the late 1950s that he refers to as domestic self-experimentation.

La historia del Partido Andalucista forma parte de la historia más reciente de Andalucía. El partido de «la manita abierta, el del olivito verde y el corazón por bandera, el que defiende su tierra del paro y la emigración», como bien cantara Carlos Cano, tuvo su origen en la necesidad y compromiso político y social con una tierra en la que imperaban la injusticia y la desigualdad. Esta obra es una fiel crónica, vivida y documentada por su autor, sobre la excepcional aventura política que surgió espontáneamente en Andalucía allá por los años sesenta del pasado siglo, y que durante cincuenta años justos luchó contra corriente con el objetivo de la liberación de Andalucía medi...
