Constructing Identity in Twentieth-Century Spain

This provocative collection of essays will, one hopes, engender additional debate on Iberian identity, modern culture, and the theories informing our interpretation of contemporary Spain. * Modern Language Review *
Jo Labanyi has edited, superbly, an invigorating and original book. * Modern Language Review *
Each chapter has a concise and useful bibliogrpahy, and the volume is well indexed. * Bulletin of Spanish Studies *
... substantial and useful additions to the growing body of research on Spanish and Latin American cultural studies or cultural critique ... enhanced precisely by the way in which Labanyi is able to bring cohesion, relevance and critical vision to what otherwise would be an engaging but rather diverse collection of essays ... in doing so, she proves once again why she is one of Hispanism's leading figures and one of a selected group of critics whose work remains consistently on the cutting edge of their discipline. * Journal of Romance Studies *
The differing contributions have been woven together to produce a harmonious, informative and eminently enjoyable volume ... it should prove an invaluable tool to teachers in schools who will find themselves well rewarded when looking for an update on any of the various topics covered. * Vida Hispanica *
