«Cataluña hispana» is the historical essay by Javier Barraycoa, published by LibrosLibres in paperback (300 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together historical episodes that, according to the author, prove Catalonia's Spanishness: Barcelona as a Gothic capital, the Castilian monks of Montserrat, the Valencian origin of the castellers, or Catalan participation at Lepanto. Barraycoa contrasts these episodes with the myths of nationalism and criticises the nationalist narrative.
First edition of 2013; the full subtitle is «historias sorprendentes de la españolidad de Cataluña y el fraude del nacionalismo».
For readers interested in the history of Spain and Catalonia and in the debate on nationalism.
