This book is the first modern overview of the history of historiography in Spain. It covers sources from Juan de Mariana's History of Spain, written at the end of the sixteenth century, up to current historical writings and their context. The main objective of the book is to shed light on the continuities and breaks in the ways that Spanish historians represented ideas of Spain. The concept of historiography used is wide enough to span not only academic works and institutions but also public uses of history, including the history taught in schools. The methodology employed by the author combines the tradition of studies of national identity with those of historiography. One of the key themes in the book is the role of the historical profession in Spain and its influence on national discourse from the nineteenth century onwards.

El título de este libro, Verdades sospechosas, alude a la profunda desconfianza de su autor respecto a las creencias religiosas y a las ideas dogmáticas de toda índole, que en el pasado han configurado la vida social y que en el presente prosiguen haciéndolo. Se trata de un ensayo de historia cultural a modo de mosaico cuyas teselas están formadas por el escrutinio de la obra de pensadores como K. Marx, F. Nietzsche, S. Freud, E. Bloch, M. Weber, W. Benjamin, etc..., y la paralela explicación de sus circunstancias biográficas e históricas.
