Fire in the Blood by Ian Gibson
Since Franco's death, Spain has managed the considerable achievement of a peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy. Spaniards are recovering a tradition of tolerance lost in 1492, when Granada, the country's last Moorish enclave, fell to the Christians. Now there is an obsession with making up for lost time, a determination to figure prominently on the map of the contemporary world. Published to accompany a BBC Television series, this book provides a portrait of the landscapes, history, people and problems of Spain, developing such themes as army and Church resistance to the new liberalism, women's role in Spain today, and the strange case of the Basques.Dr. Ian Gibson is currently leader of the Adaptive Music Technology Research Group at the University of Huddersfield and Visiting Professior at the University of British Columbia, Canada. Previous roles include a researcher at the Faculty of Music, University of Oxford, where he also acted as studio manager. Dr. Gibson has a first degree is Computer Science.
