Spain, 1812-1996: Modern History for Modern Languages Book
This book is the first in an innovative new series written specifically for students of modern languages. Each book seeks to provide students with the historical background they need to understand the ideas and references they encounter in their discussions, readings, and travels. Spain 1812-1996 is a practical history of modern Spain, accessible to students from a wide range of backgrounds. The emphasis is on political history, although cultural and economic topics are discussed where relevant, and the main theme is the struggle to establish the institutions and practices of liberal democracy. The thematic approach helps students follow the key trends in Spanish history without getting lost in detail. The book begins with a prologue describing briefly what Spain was like in 1812 and then proceeds to cover the next two centuries of Spanish history in ten chronological chapters. In addition to a concise description of the period, each chapter includes an outline of related events in the wider world, a glossary of key terms, one or two exhibits--short, original texts that illustrate key points--and a short list of discussion questions which cover both the exhibits and the chapter as a whole. Ideal for anyone who would like a quick introduction to modern Spain, the book also includes suggestions for further reading and a comprehensive index with both Spanish and English terms.Read More
