Author: José M. Portillo Valdés.
When and how was the Spanish nation born? What role did the Atlantic revolutions play? What is the nation of nations? And, Spain and the Spains?
José M. Portillo, based on the idea of emancipation brought about by Western modernity, constructs a history of the origins of the nation and the State in Spain. To do so, he studies the process of Latin American emancipations to reach the conclusion that Spain is just another consequence of the long imperial crisis of the Spanish monarchy in the 18th and 19th centuries, in the same way as Mexico, Peru and other national spaces on the American continent. Without denying the existence of a centuries-long coexistence of the peoples that make up Spain prior to this period.
A highly topical book that sheds light on the conflicts and discussions surrounding the conception of the nation and the state in Spain, seeking its roots in the 18th and 19th centuries.
