Recenzii

What makes this sourcebook stand out is its seamless incorporation of gender history throughout. There is much to like about this book . Its structure is flexible for classroom use, and it does meet the authors' goals of bringing historical context to cultural studies' students and cultural works to history students.
A key strength of The Modern Spain Sourcebook, for both instructors and students, is its thematic (not chronological) organization of materials, which effectively promotes an interdisciplinary study of Spanish cultural production and historical eras ... Overall, and consistent with the editors' goals, the sourcebook's ideal audience would be professors and instructors of interdisciplinary subjects taught in English, such as history, cultural studies, comparative literature, and gender, women's and sexuality studies.
An original and enlightening anthology that goes well beyond the traditional scope of most classroom readers. These aptly chosen and well translated documents will stimulate plenty of reflection and fruitful discussions, and they can also serve as an excellent base for written work in a variety of classes.
A well-balanced, much-needed book which historians of modern Spain have been waiting on for decades. They will not be disappointed.
