This book analyses teachers' social movements during the Spanish
transition to democracy, between 1970 and 1985. It shows how
ordinary teachers struggled to liberate their country's education
system from the legacy of dictatorship. It explores their
organizations, the paths of action they chose and their interaction
with the disintegrating autocracy and the emerging democracy. In
addition to analyzing the national aspects of their initiatives it
follows their grass-roots activities in two local contexts, the
fast growing metropolitan city of Madrid and the backward rural
province of Salamanca. It thus combines a general evaluation of the
phenomenon with intimate glances at the people who drove it
forward. The success of the transition, the book argues, was due
not only to the manoeuvrings of political leaders, nor to poplar
protests in the streets, but was instead a common civic effort. By
vindicating the importance of democratic professionals it thus
illuminates the Spanish transition to democracy from a new angle.
