Sommario/riassunto

Focusing on organization, resistance and political culture, this collection represents some of the best examples of recent Spanish



historiography in the field of modern Spanish labor movements. Topics range from socialism to anarchism, from the formation of the liberal state in the 19th century to the Civil War, and from women in the work place to the fate of the unions under Franco.
