Madrid: Ediciones Martínez-Roca. 300-page, Spanish-language essay about the inner contradictions the Spanish state faces in trying to fit the Catalan, Basque and Galician nations, with their own languages and cultures, into the Castilian monolingual, homogenizing blueprint. Issues of sovereignty, constitutional framework, fiscal policies, civil rights, democratic culture, multilingualism, and cultural identity are discussed in the context of 21st- century Spanish politics. Two well-known Spanish authors, Pilar Rahola and Pío Moa, wrote opposing prefaces—for and against the theses of the book.
