This is a study of the Spanish Labour Movement in Barcelona from
1939 to 1988, with particular emphasis on the period between 1962
and 1976. It explains how the movement, so long the scourge of the
Franco regime, became the poor relation of the new democracy it had
helped to create. From this emerges a wide-ranging investigation of
working-class life and culture, labour relations, and politics in
an authoritarian regime. Balfour subtly interweaves all aspects of
working-class experience, from architecture to accident benefits.
The book thus successfully unravels one of the chief paradoxes of
the transition from dictatorship to democracy in Spain, and also
casts light on the broader issues of labour history in general, and
the nature of modern authoritarian regimes. Dr Balfour uses the
archives of Franco's secret police, untouched since the dictator's
death, and provides a unique insight into the inner workings of the
dictatorship.
