The processes associated with globalisation have seen Catalonia
become an increasingly ethnolinguistically diverse region. A
vibrant civic and political movement for an independence has
brought a renewed urgency to questions about what it means,
personally and politically, to speak or not to speak Catalan or
Spanish in 21st century Catalonia. This book examines the attitudes
of members of independence organisations toward the Catalan and
Spanish languages against the backdrop of the independence
movement. A multifaceted socio-political and socio-cultural
situation is reflected in what speakers think about the languages,
how they perceive them and how understanding this can reveal the
complex configuration of language and identity politics. Research
using focus groups and narrative interviews was conducted with
members of independence organisations operating in the Catalan city
of Girona. Analysis of the data reveals a diversity of attitudes
toward both Catalan and Spanish, with both languages being
mobilised in diverse combinations for a wide range of purposes.
Qualitative methodology revealed the ways in which Catalan and
Spanish are currently being practised, and the symbolic and
functional role the languages play in articulating a sense of
modern-day Catalan identity. Respondents indicate that, against the
backdrop of the independence process in the region, globalisation
and migration, bilingualism and multilingualism, have become highly
valued in modern Catalonia for a myriad of different reasons.
Research findings bring to the fore the complex matrix of
political, ethnic and linguistic allegiance which has important
implications for similar national independence situations in the
rest of the world. Published in association with the Canada Blanch
Centre for Contemporary Spanish Studies

"Fear is a terrible thing Andrew, as no doubt you know. It feeds on
itself. It grows out of all proportion to the thing that is feared.
It's like some sort of cancer. It must be faced time and time and
time again but it never actually goes away. That's the real terror
of war. The incessant, gnawing fear. And all the acts of bravery
and courage never make up for the moment when, for once, the fear
gets the better of you and you surrender to blind, consuming, soul
destroying panic." Sir James' face was grim as he stared into the
fire and forced his mind to relive the memory of those dark days.
"It's a terrible thing, to abandon and betray a friend and comrade.
A friend in desperate need," he whispered, his eyes clouding as
once more he walked the devastated lands of Normandy .... The
Makepeace family fight for survival as the past comes to haunt and
destroy all they hold dear. From rural Warwickshire to Hong Kong,
the wild west of Ireland to New York, death, despair and finally,
the Pheonix of redemption emerges.
