Internacionalisme o nacionalisme? Socialisme i nació als territoris de llengua catalana (1931-1936)

Often, the labour internationalism has been considered as an obstacle to the national identification of the Marxist socialism of the first part of the 20^th century. But in most cases, the relation between these two elements hasn’t been compatible. This book studies how the European socialisms fit in together these variables, Spanish, Valencian, Catalan and Balear. The book analysis the process of political and European socialist cultural integration in the frame of Estate nation and digs dip into the Spanish case to show the socialist adhesion in Spain and to know some of the defining characteristics of this idea of nation. Likewise, the author considers the behaviour of the socialism in Catalan-speaking territories and if its idea of Spain coincides with the rest of Spanish socialism. Beyond the interaction between socialism and the nationalist and regionalist movements, the focus in on the socialist relation with the tales and identifying symbols different in Valencian, Catalan and Balear. With all this, this book is a research about the social construction and diffusion of the Spanish national identity, through this dynamism of the articulation of social, political, national, regional and local identities.
