On October 1, 2017, the Spanish police assault on Catalans voting
in a peaceful referendum shot Catalonia's struggle for independence
onto the world's front pages. Today, those two million-plus voters
have neither forgiven nor forgotten: the struggle continues.
Catalonia's national consciousness has deep roots. A People's
History of Catalonia tells this small country's history, from
below, in all its richness and complexity. Catalonia's struggles
for freedom have, for centuries, been violently resisted; and its
language and rights, suppressed. Since the nineteenth century, the
fight for national sovereignty has often intertwined with
working-class mobilisation for social justice. Barcelona became
known as the Rose of Fire. In 1936 Catalonia saw one of history's
most profound workers' revolutions. From the peasant revolts of the
15th century and the siege of Barcelona in 1714, through the
explosive workers' movement led by anarchists, the defeat in the
Spanish Civil War, to the anti-Franco resistance in the grim years
that followed, the author tells a compelling story whose ending has
yet to be written.
