Book Review: What’s Up With Catalonia?
What’s Up With Catalonia, edited by Liz Castro In many ways, reading this book in 2023 is a bit of a disappointment. This book was written and published in a hurry, when Catalonia thought it had a moment where the … Continue reading

Book Review: The Hispanic Presence In North America
The Hispanic Presence In North America From 1492 To Today, by Carlos M. Fernandez-Shaw If I am part of an ethnic group that wanted to promote itself, it would be hard to appreciate a book like this more. That is … Continue reading
Book Review: The Pretty Sister Of José
The Pretty Sister Of José, by Frances Hodgson Burnett Frances Hodgson Burnett is known for a few books [1], and this is not one of them. That is not to say that this is a bad book. On the contrary, … Continue reading

Franco: A Biography, by J. Fusi This book is sort of the middle ground when it comes to biographies that one would expect about a man like Francisco Franco. Some biographies view Franco as a great man and take his … Continue reading
Book Review: Francisco Franco (Arraras)
Francisco Franco, by Joaquin Arraras This biography is a fascinating one in large part because it was written and published in 1938 in England while Franco was in the process of leading the Nationalist side to victory in the Spanish … Continue reading
Book Review: The Spanish Civil War: Reaction, Revolution, And Revenge
The Spanish Civil War: Reaction, Revolution, And Revenge, by Paul Preston It is a hard thing to find a good book on the Spanish Civil War. There is an oft-repeated saw that history is written by the winners, but in … Continue reading
