Through a careful selection of his articles published in exile, the author presents solid arguments for the national reconstruction of Catalonia from a moderate and unifying position. A work that offers the keys to a political project capable of democratizing the country and building a fairer and freer future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the tumultuous 20th century, marked by the polarization between fascist totalitarianism and liberal democracy, Rafael Tasis unequivocally stood on the side of European democracies. This book collects his splendid articles, written during exile, where he proposes a progressive Catalanism as a political revulsive and civic palliative against the extremisms of the right and left. Tasis defends a centrist and socially unifying path that, without shocks, would allow for national reconstruction after the republican defeat. With a critical gaze toward Francoism, the author offers solid arguments so that, in a democratic future that felt imminent at the time, political Catalanism would have the necessary means and reasons to affirm the inalienable personality of the Catalans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLiberal and social-democratic Catalanism as a moderate political alternative.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCriticism of fascist totalitarianism and leftist extremisms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNational reconstruction of Catalonia from exile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDefense of democracy and European values against Francoism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eProposal for a centrist and unifying political project for the future of Catalonia.\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 the political history of Catalonia during the 20th century, especially in post-war Catalanist thought and the exile.
