The New Spaniards Zusammenfassung

The New Spaniards John Hooper

Over 30 million foreigners travel to Spain every year - more than any other country, yet all but a handful see little of the country besides the holiday costas. This book describes the real Spain that has emerged since the death of Franco, a country of immense industrial and cultural creativity, of police trade unions and wife-swapping bars, a federal monarchy with a tax-paying king, a welfare state in which three-quarters of the unemployed do not qualify for assistance. Unlike many books on Spain, this book eschews politics to focus on the society and how it functions. The book won the Allen Lane Award.

Inhaltsverzeichnis

Part 1 The making of the new Spain: economic and social change - from the Years of Hunger to the Years of Development; political change - from dictatorship to democracy; the centre falls apart; socialist Spain; not-so-socialist Spain; the spirit of the new Spain. Part 2 The pillars of society: a modest monarchy; the army - back in step?; a dwindling flock - religion and the church. Part 3 Coming to terms with freedom: sex - the lid comes off...or does it?; women on the verge of a nervous breakdown; relative values; high stakes; a cult of excess; invisible guardians - crime and the police; the law and disorder. Part 4 Government and the individual: the state versus Juan Espanol; the reluctant providers; education - all change in the schools; housing - through the roof. Part 5 Society reflected: the press - more influence than readers; change on the air; art and the possible - the politics of culture; a journey without maps; the taming of the bulls. Part 6 A fissile state: centrifugal forces; the Basques; the Catalans; the Galicians; power to the regions; the new Spaniards.
