Introduction

As one of Europe’s great industrial and revolutionary centres, Barcelona has been in need of a detailed social and cultural history, yet there is actually a paucity of detailed research. This book redresses the balance.

Scope and Focus

Focusing on the entire twentieth century, it allows for the emergence of long-term trends, and deals with both classic and newer themes of labour history.

Audience and Significance

This novel and authoritative work will interest not only those working on Spain, but all scholars and students of comparative history.
