Much effort and energy have been expended ever since in endeavouring to show that Spain has not been different, but normal. Still, many of the defining features of the country's past--the civil wars, the weak liberalism, the Franco dictatorship--are taken as evidence of its distinctiveness. A related problem is that few historians have actually placed Spain's trajectory over the last two centuries within a truly comparative context. This book does so by tackling a number of key themes in modern Spanish history: liberalism, nationalism, anticlericalism, the Second Republic, the Franco dictatorship and the transition to democracy. Is Spain Different? thereby offers a fresh and stimulating perspective on Spain's recent past that is not only of interest to students of Spanish and European history alike, but also sheds new light on the current political debates regarding Spain's place in the world"--From publihser's website. 606 $aNational characteristics, Spanish 606 $aSocial change$zSpain$xHistory 607 $aSpain$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aSpain$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aSpain$xPolitics and government$y19th century 607 $aSpain$xPolitics and government$y20th century 615 0$aNational characteristics, Spanish. 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory. 676 $a946/.07 702 $aTownson$b Nigel 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788155103321 996 $aIs Spain different$93709598 997 $aUNINA
