Catalonia: A Cultural History by Michael Eaude

5.0

Fantastic exploration of Catalan culture and history. I'm obsessed with the Basque Country and have now read a few books on it, so I was thrilled when my mom gave me this book for more insight into my second favorite region of Spain. I particularly enjoyed that Eaude drew many parallels between Catalonia and the Basque Country to show how similar they are in resisting Madrid's government and how different they are in how they define themselves. A fascinating read! (A wonderful chapter on Catalan food, too!)
