Forever In Galicia

By Alfonso Rodríguez Castelao

An alternative account of Spanish history, it argues in defence of cultural and linguistic diversity, providing a case for political devolution and independence. Written before, during and after the Spanish Civil War, it reflects the tensions in Spain leading up to the conflict from a Galician perspective, as well as the utter desolation and burgeoning optimism after the devastating events of 1936–39.

The obstinate and determined humanity of Castelao permeates these pages with a love for a home that he would never see again, his moral and ethical argument compelling and still applicable to Galicia and other contexts around the world in the twenty-first century.

This iconic work has been translated from Galician into English for the first time.
