Working on Rights
This book is the first to connect global labor history and the history of human rights: By focusing on democratic labor oppositions in Spain and Poland between 1960 and 1990, it shows how workers in authoritarian regimes addressed repression and whether they developed a language of rights in the light of a globally dynamic human rights discourse. The study argues that the democratic labor oppositions in Spain and Poland were both variants of emancipatory and democracy-oriented social movements with global interconnections that emerged in the 1960s. It reveals that the demands for free and independent trade unions, which in both countries became a flashpoint in the fight for broader democrati...
Católicos, monárquicos y fascistas en Almería durante la Segunda República
El libro Católicos, monárquicos y fascistas, escrito por el profesor Quirosa-Cheyrouze, es el resultado de un trabajo de investigación que estudia en profundidad los partidos derechistas que actuaron en Almería durante la etapa republicana. Así, el autor analiza la constitución, implantación y evolución de las organizaciones vinculadas a Acción Popular, Comunión Tradicionalista y Falange Española. Pero, sobre todo, presta una especial atención a la composición social de su militancia, investigando no sólo las élites de los partidos-como se contentan la mayoría de estudios publicados, sino también las bases, el total de afiliados. El último capítulo está dedicado al análi...
Religious Landscapes in Contemporary Spain
Spain is no longer exclusively identified with Catholicism. This book sets out to understand the social dynamics of twenty-first century Spain through the perspective of religion and religious pluralism. Divided into three parts, Part I, Secularization in Spain, frames the analysis of this secularization process throughout the twentieth century and beyond, with particular attention to the process during the Second Republic and the quiet secularization of society that began under Franco's regime. Part II, Religious Change in Spain, establishes the broad framework of the process, addressing the changes that have taken place within Catholicism and the reaction of the Protestant minority as social mores became increasingly fast moving. Part III, Islam in Spain, addresses both its history (including colonial management) and current dynamics (how Islam is viewed by other religions; the impact of the March 11, 2004, attacks; and Islamophobic discourse). Religious Landscapes in Contemporary Spain is essential reading for scholars and students in History and Contemporary Affairs.

Mass Killings and Violence in Spain, 1936-1952
Historians have only recently established the scale of the violence carried out by the supporters of General Franco during and after the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. An estimated 88,000 unidentified victims of Francoist violence remain to be exhumed from mass graves and given a dignified burial, and for decades, the history of these victims has also been buried. This volume brings together a range of Spanish and British specialists who offer an original and challenging overview of this violence. Contributors not only examine the mass killings and incarcerations, but also carefully consider how the repression carried out in the government zone during the Civil War - long misrepresented in Francoist accounts - seeped into everyday life. A final section explores ways of facing Spain’s recent violent past.
El nacimiento del municipio de El Ejido. De las primeras elecciones democráticas al cambio político (1979-1991)
La tesis doctoral El nacimiento del municipio de El Ejido. De las primeras elecciones democráticas al cambio político (1979-1991), dirigida por Rafael Quirosa-Cheyrouze, tiene como objeto analizar, con un criterio científico y académico, cómo se produjo el singular nacimiento del actual municipio de El Ejido, singular por haber sido un capítulo conflictivo e irregular, desarrollado en la historia reciente del Poniente almeriense entre 1979 y 1991, que llegó a enfrentar a familias y a provocar divisiones internas en algunos partidos políticos. Un proceso que, por otra parte, no podría haberse llevado a cabo sin la llegada de la democracia, tras la muerte del general Franco, y en el m...
