Students of Spanish language and culture can now benefit from a
text that provides them with an understanding of contemporary
Spanish history and society while refining their knowledge of the
language and expanding their vocabulary. "La Espana que sobrevive"
(originally published in Madrid in 1987) explores the aftermath of
the Franco era in Spain. It presents an objective and nonpartisan,
yet humorous and affectionate, view of the important aspects of
contemporary Spanish history and society. Topics include the
transition to democracy; regionalism and nationalism; key players
in current affairs; important institutions such as the monarchy,
military, and the church; sexual mores; culture; the media; and,
politicized approaches to Spanish history. For this edition,
William W. Cressey has edited Fernando Diaz-Plaja's text to make it
accessible to English-speaking students at an advanced level of
Spanish reading skills. Cressey has also added study aids to the
book - vocabulary and footnotes, glosses on proper names, questions
for discussion, notes on grammar and rhetoric, and exercises. The
study aids are gradually phased out, so that the final chapter is
presented as stand-alone reading without any supplementary
materials. Cressey's adaptation of Diaz-Plaja's highly respected
work provides an alternative to literary sources for foreign
language instruction - a new resource for teaching foreign
languages across the curriculum and instruction through content.
Bridging the gap between the fairly simple intermediate readers and
texts written for adult native speakers, this book can serve as
either a supplementary or main text in the advanced study of
language or history, or in preparation for study abroad. "La Espana
que sobrevive" is a practical tool for teaching not only the
language but also the many facets of modern Spanish culture.
