This book 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 re-emerged at the end of Franco's dictatorship in 1975
more firmly rooted than before. The core of this book 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 (1939--1975).
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. Published in association with the Catalan
Observatory, London School of Economics.
