What is happening in Catalonia? What lies behind its political conflicts?   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCatalan identity has been evolving for centuries, starting in early medieval ages (11\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e and 12\u003csup\u003elve\u003c\/sup\u003e centuries). It is not a modern phenomenon. The emergence of imperial Spain in the 16 c. and the French \u003ci\u003eAncien Régime\u003c\/i\u003e in the 17 c. correlates with a decline of Catalan culture, which was politically absorbed by the Spanish state after the conquest of Barcelona in 1714. However, Catalan language and culture flourished again under the stimulus of the European Romantic Nationalism movement (known as the \u003ci\u003eRenaixença\u003c\/i\u003e in Catalonia).  During the first Dictatorship (Primo de Rivera, 1923-1930), the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), and the long Francoist era (1939-1975), Catalan language and culture were repressed, yet refurbished and reconstructed at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis rise of a plural, complex, and non-homogeneous Catalan identity constitutes the subject matter of this volume. National conflicts that emerged later in the Spanish democratic state leant heavily on the life engagement and vital commitment experienced by the entrenched intellectual movements of the twentieth century in Catalonia, Valencian Country and the Balearic Islands.  This book reveals the cultural and literary grassroots of these conflicts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-05-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030181437\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-18144-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 289\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45441111818380,"sku":"9783030181437","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030181437.jpg?v=1776785759","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783030181437","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
