And despite the undeniably political character of that story, cultural history can also provide essential insights into the subject. \u003cem\u003eMetaphors of Spain\u003c\/em\u003e brings together leading historians to examine Spanish nationalism through its diverse and complementary cultural artifacts, from “formal” representations such as the flag to music, bullfighting, and other more diffuse examples. Together they describe not a Spanish national “essence,” but a nationalism that is constantly evolving and accommodates multiple interpretations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The book contains a wealth of valuable insights for gaining a better understanding of modern Spanish nationalism and, in particular, of Spanish identity—two concepts that are erroneously associated in academic analysis… The current Catalan debate becomes more comprehensible after reading this book, which is extremely recommended for students of Spanish and South European studies, journalists, and academics specializing in Spanish politics and European nationalism.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• History\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“\u003c\/em\u003eMetaphors of Spain \u003cem\u003emakes a rich trove of scholarship accessible to an English-speaking audience, framed in a way that will be of interest even for those without background knowledge about the country.
