Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Focusing on the interplay of space, culture, and power in Iberia since 1850, this collection of case studies demonstrates how questions about social identities and power are also questions about mapping, texts, and concrete spaces. The late nineteenth and twentieth centuries are marked by a drive toward grandiose ideological conceptualizations that affected the production of ideas about modern geographical space. The contributors examine the links between this historical context and the emergence of specific intellectual traditions, as well as everyday discourses and practices. They also explore the making of conflicted spaces in Portugal and Spain, and in foreign sites impacted by Iberian-origin exile or colonial settlement. The essays compel readers to consider exactly how people's political identifications have been forged through cultural struggles over the uses and meanings of physical spaces, whether these are in Barcelona, Bilbao, villages in the Alto Douro of Portugal or in Galician Spain, Malacca, the countryside near Ávila (the "City of the Saints"), or Catalans' wartime London.
"This overview of current issues of Iberian societies has a very good editorial introduction, comprehensive literature review, and a rich diversity of chapters. It certainly will be very appreciated by readers looking for contemporary information about southern Europe. I anticipate that it will be used in courses and will be cited often." -- Cristiana Bastos, Universidade de Lisboa
Contributors include María Cátedra, Susan M. DiGiacomo, James W. Fernandez, João Leal, António Medeiros, Brian Juan O'Neill, Shawn S. Parkhurst, Oriol Pi-Sunyer, Sharon R. Roseman, José Manuel Sobral, and Jacqueline Urla. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
