Starting from the chance discovery of old newspapers, the author analyzes the forty months spanning from the first massive demonstrations to the November 9th (9N) vote, dissecting the role of public media, political dynamics, and the influence of leaders. A work that invites reflection without self-censorship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book stems from a casual event: the discovery of a bundle of newspapers from the Republican era. This finding serves as a common thread for the author to draw a comparative analysis between two historical moments in Catalonia. Ferran focuses on what has been called \"el procés\"—the period of approximately forty months that covers everything from the first major independence demonstration to the events following the 9N vote. Throughout these pages, he examines, without fear of controversy, the behavior of public media, the strategy of parties and social movements, and the political and electoral drift driven by Catalan nationalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritical analysis of the Catalan independence process (el procés).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical parallels between Republican Catalonia in the 1930s and the present day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe role and bias of public media in the political conflict.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePolitical and electoral dynamics and strategies of Catalan nationalism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of political leaders, parties, and social movements in the process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in Spanish and Catalan politics, the recent history of Spain, and socio-political analysis.
