An incisive account of modern Spain, from the death of Franco to
the Catalan referendum and beyond Spain's transition to democracy
after Franco's long dictatorship was widely hailed as a success,
ushering in three decades of unprecedented progress and prosperity.
Yet over the past decade its political consensus has been under
severe strain. A stable two-party system has splintered, with
disruptive new parties on the far left and far right. No government
has had a majority since 2015. Michael Reid overturns the
stereotypical view of Spain as a country haunted by its Francoist
past. From Catalan separatism and the indignados movement to the
Spanish economy's overdependence on tourism and small business,
Spain's challenges can often seem unique. But Reid is careful to
emphasize the many pressures it faces in common with its European
neighbors-such as austerity, populism, and increasing polarization.
The result is a penetrating yet rounded portrait of a vibrant
country-one that is more often visited than understood.
