The Origins of Catalan Nationalism, 1770-1898
This book looks at the reasons behind the emergence of a Catalan nationalist movement from the late 1880s, one of the most important developments that took place in nineteenth-century Spain, with the 'Catalan question' thereafter never far from the centre of the Spanish political stage.
Class, Culture and Conflict in Barcelona, 1898-1937
This book investigates urban conflict, popular protest and social control in Barcelona during the period 1898-1937. Focusing upon the sources of anarchist power in the city and the role of the organised anarchist movement during the Second Republic the volume concludes with an analysis of the decline of the power of the anarchist movement during the civil war in its identification of the local conditions that made Barcelona into the capital of European anarchism.
The Challenges of Ethno-Nationalism
Ethno-nationalism presents a multitude of challenges to the structure of the international political system and to the internal governance of states. This volume explores the multifaceted nature of these challenges across the world, while also examining how states have responded to meet them, through a wide range of case studies and comparisons.
Republic of Egos
Most histories of the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) have examined major leaders or well-established political and social groups to explore class, gender, and ideological struggles. The war in Spain was marked by momentous conflicts between democracy and dictatorship, Communism and fascism, anarchism and authoritarianism, and Catholicism and anticlericalism that still provoke our fascination. In Republic of Egos, Michael Seidman focuses instead on the personal and individual experiences of the common men and women who were actors in a struggle that defined a generation and helped to shape our world. By examining the roles of anonymous individuals, families, and small groups who fought for t...
Literature as a Response to Cultural and Political Repression in Franco's Catalonia
A thoroughly researched and documented study of Catalan literature under the Franco regime, focussed on several key post-Civil War novels and their authors. During the 1950s and 1960s, several key Catalan authors set about rewriting some of their narrative work despite the obstacles to publication in Catalan under the Franco regime. This study describes the social, political and cultural conditions that impelled Salvador Espriu, Xavier Benguerel, Sebastià Juan Arbó and Joan Sales to revise Laia, El testament, Tino Costa and Incerta glòria, concentrating particularly on the linguistic debates and literary trends from the 1950s to the early 1970s. Drawing on a wide range of theoretical pers...

Anarquía, dinamita y revolución social
Entre finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX el panorama internacional se vio sacudido por las balas, las bombas y las dagas anarquistas. El presidente de la República francesa Sadi Carnot; el presidente del Gobierno español, Cánovas del Castillo; la emperatriz Isabel de Austria-Hungría, la famosa Sissi; el rey Humberto I de Italia y el presidente de los EE UU, William McKinley, murieron por acciones de anarquistas. En España hubo atentados especialmente cruentos que alcanzaron a gente de condición más humilde que se encontraban por azar en un lugar público, como las bombas arrojadas en el Teatro del Liceo y en la procesión del Corpus de Santa María del Mar, el atentado contra e...
The Formation of National Elites
Following the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars the creation and consolidation of nation states became one of the overriding issues of European politics. It dominated the actions and aspirations of politicians and peoples throughout the 19th century and was a major cause of the increasingly disastrous conflicts towards the turn of the century, culminating in the First - and on a different scale - the Second World War. At the same time as large states were coming into being some, peoples and nations lost the degree of statehood they had enjoyed earlier in their history, some groups and minorities were neglected in the process of national self-affirmation, some territories and fragmented sections became an issue of dispute and conflict between neighbouring countries and some minorities and immigrant communities became detached from their home territory.
