Rezensionen

"This timely book ... offers a constructivist perspective on identity formation. As such, it is a welcome addition to a literature that too often upholds a version of historicist teleology that is found even in the work of noted scholars like Jaume Vicens Vives. ... this comprehensive text is a must-read for students and scholars of Spanish history and for those interested in the roots of political controversies in contemporary Spain." (Scott Eastman, Bulletin for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies, Vol. 41 (1), 2016)
