Rezensionen

Patricia A. Schechter has written a wonderful story of what we often call modernization. Focusing on a small Andalusian town, Pueblonuevo (Córdoba), she aptly explains how the arrival of "progress" brought with it the emergence of new social groups, identities, and conflicts that deepened until the tragic outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. This is local history at its best.
