This volume investigates a galaxy of diverse networks and intellectual actors who engaged in a broad political environment, from conservatism to the most radical right, between the World Wars. Looking beyond fascism, it considers the less-investigated domain of the 'Latin space', which is both geographical and cultural, encompassing countries of both Southern Europe and Latin America. Focus is given to mid-level civil servants, writers, journalists and artists and important 'transnational agents' as well as the larger intellectual networks to which they belonged. The book poses such questions as: In what way did the intellectuals align national and nationalistic values with the project of cr...
Em Novembro de 1940, poucos meses depois da invasão da Dinamarca, um círculo conservador liderado por um empresário propôs ao rei que se estabelecesse um regime autoritário em moldes corporativos, que amiúde remeteria para o ditador português, António Salazar, e o seu Estado Novo. Em 1941, um jornalista do The New York Times visitou dez países latino-americanos e escreveu um artigo a expressar as suas preocupações a respeito das simpatias católicas para com o corporativismo, as ditaduras e mesmo o fascismo, por todo o continente. Conclui que «repetidamente, ouvia-se de padres e leigos de toda a América Latina a opinião de que a ditadura de Salazar em Portugal era um Estado qua...

La presencia del factor católico en las diferentes sociedades que configuraron la América virreinal española así como las distintas repúblicas nacidas de los procesos independentistas de comienzos del XIX, es uno de los elementos claves para comprender de modo acertado el desarrollo de las mismas hasta el momento presente, los conflictos surgidos en su seno, la evolución de su cultura, arte y economía, las tensiones políticas e incluso los enfrentamientos armados que, con demasiada frecuencia, las desgarraron. La Iglesia católica, en virtud del Patronato regio, fue uno de los pilares de la sociedad virreinal, con una presencia que se extendía a todas las realidades sociales, pautan...

European Universities from the Enlightenment to 1914 is an authoritative and unique work. Though patronized by a social elite, universities before 1914 were not ivory towers, but reflected the political and social conflicts of their day. Anderson combines chapters on national university systems (including Britain) with a searching and far-ranging discussion of more general themes. The book is an essential contribution both to modern European history, and to understanding the background of contemporary university problems.
