Apologia and Criticism
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.

España en la memoria de tres generaciones
Durante el siglo XX tres generaciones de españoles han vivido grandes cambios: las generaciones de los años treinta, sesenta y noventa, y cada una guarda su particular memoria y su juicio del tiempo vivido. La visión del pasado y nuestras esperanzas se apoyan sobre la síntesis y la interpretación de esa memoria que ha de realizarse con la vida puesta en el futuro. Hasta hace poco tiempo ha sido muy difícil hablar de la memoria de esas tres generaciones y desde luego no se había producido un esfuerzo de clasificación de lo ocurrido, ni se había llevado a la práctica una reparación simbólica de las víctimas, como reivindicaban asociaciones, partidos políticos y sindicatos. Los expertos de reconocido prestigio que han participado en esta obra, entre los que figuran profesores universitarios; profesionales de la magistratura; periodistas; cargos institucionales, políticos y eclesiásticos; sindicalistas, son actores significativos de la vida social, política y cultural española del momento. Los estudios que presentan aquí, abordan la memoria en positivo, sin ánimo de abrir heridas, sino más bien tratando de iluminar y comprender aspectos oscuros de nuestra historia.
