España, Norteamérica y tiempos de crisis

Summary:

Governments and the media constantly bombard society with crisis issues, whether humanitarian, political or climate; and, of course, economic crises that are to come and others that have yet to recover. Identifying them and paying attention to their experience supposes a turn of events that closes a previously imagined future. Often, instead of mobilization, crises produce paralysis, an attachment to the present rather than an incentive to imagine alternatives. The starting point of this book is the connections, the historical links between Spain and North America, seen precisely from a crisis perspective. These links include exile, humanitarianism, foreign policy, international relations, national identity, and the imagination. The authors participating in this volume approach the subject from different perspectives, such as history, literature, diplomacy, and philosophy, at various key moments in the history of both countries.
