Book Description
Iberian Worlds is an imaginative, short text that dramatically depicts important globalization themes and processes through the important flows and impacts Spain and Portugal have had with many important regions of the world for many centuries. Spain and Portugal have long histories at the cutting-edge of world relations, managing far-flung empires, and author Gary McDonogh stresses this historical perspective as well as foregrounding the vast present world fostered by the “Iberian project” – Latin America, Southern Europe, parts of Asia and Africa, in which Spain and Portugal possess enormous power.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“McDonogh’s very informative work includes substantive material on Portugal as well as Spain, with even a bow toward Andorra….Based largely on an impressive array of secondary materials as enriched by the author’s personal experiences, this book is appropriate for informed general readers and scholars – Recommended.”
