The New Spaniards | John Hooper
3 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
A fully revised, expanded and updated edition of this masterly portrayal of contemporary Spain. The restoration of democracy in 1977 heralded a period of intense change that continues today. Spain has become a land of extraordinary paradoxes in which traditional attitudes and contemporary preoccupations exist side by side. Focussing on issues which affect ordinary Spaniards, from housing to gambling, from changing sexual mores to rising crime rates. John Hooper's fascinating study brings to life the new Spain of the twenty-first century.

I'm reading this book because I, and my parents, lived in Madrid until I was 4. Now I have visited three times, all within the last two years. My parents cannot believe how much Spain has changed, based on my descriptions. This book sounds like it will explain what happened over the last 40 years.
