Educating Immigrant Children
This study is concerned with the ways in which a dozen " knowledge-based societies" of Western Europe and the English-speaking world respond to unprecedented cultural and linguistic diversity resulting from the flow of immigrants and refugees since World War II. It asks how public policy has sought to use schooling to minimize the potentially divisive and inequitable effects of this diversity and to provide opportunities to the children of immigrants. It asks also how the nature of each of these societies affects the meaning of integration into each of them.

Enterprise in the Period of Fascism in Europe
The essays in this volume consider the involvement of business corporations and of individual businessmen in the politics of the 1930s and 1940s: in the move away from the market and also from democracy, towards state control and authoritarianism, including the massive intervention of the state in property rights. How far did businesses attempt to guide this intervention for their own purposes, and to what extent did they succeed? This debate deals, centrally, with the role of German business, of banks, of industrial corporations, and of small tradesmen in the Nazi regime. An older discussion of how they may have facilitated the Nazi takeover has been supplemented here by an investigation in...

En torno a la propiedad
Permítenos, querido amigo y compañero, en este tiempo de desolación, también cargados de sentimientos, parafrasear al poeta catalán para dedicarte en unas pocas líneas este libro. Aparte de con mucho afecto, lo hemos concebido, dejando de lado ritos y fastos a los que tan dada es la academia, pensando simplemente en que lo mereces. Son de sobra conocidas tu sencillez y tu humildad, por no hablar de tu infatigable laboriosidad (tal vez herencia de aquellos años duros de Ciudad Rodrigo), cualidades, sobre todo las dos primeras, que por desgracia no suelen abundar en el mundo universitario. Si a todo ello añadimos tu proverbial bonhomía no estás del todo lejos del estereotipo machadia...
Imagining 'America' in late Nineteenth Century Spain
This book examines the processes of production, circulation and reception of images of America in late nineteenth century Spain. When late nineteenth century Spaniards looked at the United States, they, like Tocqueville, ‘saw more than America’. What did they see? Between the ‘glorious’ liberal revolution of 1868 and the run-up to the 1898 war with the US that would end Spain’s New World empire, Spanish liberal and democratic reformers imagined the USA as a place where they could preview the ‘modern way of life’, as a political and social model (or anti-model) to emulate, appropriate or reject, and above all as a 100 year experiment of republicanism, democracy and liberty in practice. Through their writings and discussions of the USA, these Spaniards debated and constructed their own modernity and imagined the place of their nation in the modern world.
