Catalonia since the Spanish Civil War examines the transformation
of the Catalan nation in socio-economic, political and historical
terms, and offers an innovative interpretation of the determinants
of its nationalist mobilisation. With Franco's and Spanish
nationalism's victory in 1939, and the consolidation of a
long-lasting dictatorship, it appeared certain that the Catalan
national movement would be crushed. Yet, this did not happen and
Catalan nationalism and identity reemerged at the end of Franco's
dictatorship in 1975 more firmly rooted than before. The core of
Reconstructing the Nation traces the Francoist repression and the
nationalist response to it, demonstrating how new political actors
reconfigured Catalan nationalism over the course of the Franco
regime (19391975). Post-Franco, Catalan cultural and political
identity was consolidated and Catalonia became the most successful
state-less nationalism in western Europe. The 21st century has been
marked by an ever-growing independence movement, culminating in the
vast demonstration in the city of Barcelona in July 2010. Andrew
Dowling provides multi-faceted viewpoints in historic perspective,
and reflects on possible steps and outcomes for this new
pro-independence turn in Catalan nationalism. This study will
appeal not only to students of Spain but also to those interested
in nationalism as a separate issue of enquiry. The themes treated
in the book Franco's Spain, nationalism, anarchism, Catholicism,
communism and the Catalan role in Spain's transition to democracy
make this work an essential point of reference for students and
researchers in Hispanic studies, modern European history and
political science.
