History of the Spanish Right. From the Enlightenment to the present (1789-2020)

For more than a hundred years, the political right has been dominant in Spanish society. Understanding it is fundamental to understanding the contemporary history of Spain.

This monumental book deals with the historical, social and ideological trajectory of the set of political traditions that make up what we generically call the “Spanish political right”, and which have indelibly marked Spain’s identity as a nation.

The Spanish right follows a particular historical trajectory, different from other European right-wing tendencies, such as the French, British, German or Italian ones, and it is not, nor has it ever been, monolithic, but rather a plural reality.
