Anglo-Saxon approach to the XX century Catalan historiography

Conference Cycle held during April 2005 at Residence for Researchers/CSIC - Generalitat de Catalunya.

The British approach to the study of the Spanish history has a long tradition.
British studies on the Spanish history are interesting not only for the quality of the history investigation but for the refreshing objectivity   and a more global and international vision of our country they offer us.
 
At this point, and despite the studies already made, there is still a lack of an integrating vision of the failure real causes and also of a deep study on the Catalan opposition both in Spain as during the exile (France, Great Britain, United States and Latin America). 

As a contribution to understand what this situation really meant, the first conference “A Catalan contribution to spread the myth of the Judeo-Masonic-Bolshevik connivance: Joan Tusquets and Salamanca Papers”, was lectured by professor Preston, who wanted to study in deep Mons. Tusquet`s work and life; in many aspects, a singular and a key man of the period studied. The second conference was lectured by Casilda Güell under the title of “Failure of the Catalan opposition to Franco (1939-1950)”, in which she presented the main conclusion of her doctoral thesis. Last, professor Miquel Berga from Pompeu Fabra University spoke on the presence of the Anglo-Saxon literature in the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939; in the last years, he has dedicated several studies to this matter.
