About this book

A fascinating study of the contribution of ordinary men and women to Spain's democratic transition of the 1970s. Radcliff argues that participants in neighbourhood and other associations experimented with new practices of civic participation that put pressure on the authoritarian state and made the building blocks of a future democratic citizenship

Reviews

'An exceptional and major contribution, aimed primarily at specialists. Superb notes and bibliography.'

- N. Greene, Wesleyan University

'In the long run, Radcliff's book will be read as a crucial piece of the puzzle. At the present time, it represents a well-researched, provocative and carefully nuanced rebuttal of the elite-consensus orthodoxy that is appearing increasingly misguided with the passing of each year.' - Stephen Jacobson, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, English Historical Review
