There was a lot I liked about this book. It had a nice conversational style, the history sections, although detailed, were accessible for someone who wanted to learn a bit more about Spain and Catalonia but didn't necessarily want to be overwhelmed.
The only real problem with Catalonia Reborn is that approached its subject matter from one political perspective and had no issue editorialising throughout. Which is perfectly fine if that's what someone is looking for, and there were plenty of times I agreed with a number of the points that were made. However, I also felt that further reading from a far less politically biased viewpoint was required to gain a better understanding from the current situation and history of Catalonia.
This was an ARC from Netgalley and Luath Press in exchange for an honest review. With kind thanks.
