This is a book about how Catalans use their past, real and
imagined, in the construction of their present and future. Michael
A. Vargas inventories the significant people, signal events, and
familiar icons that constitute the Catalan collective memory, from
Wilfred the Hairy and Sant Jordi to the mountain monastery of
Montserrat, red peasant caps, and human towers in town squares. He
then considers how that inventory is employed to posit a brilliant
political heritage at the forefront of modern European
democracy-and for some, to build a powerful independence movement.
As the future of Catalonia remains fraught, this book offers a
lively and engaging exploration of how we draw upon history to
confront contemporary challenges.
