Trama

"Global Iberia" locates Spain and Portugal in the contemporary globalizing world. Through synoptic chapters on the peninsula's geography, regional histories, and longstanding role as the bridge between the Arab / North African world and Europe, McDonogh uses Spain (an, to a lesser extent, Portugal) to address the key issues generated by contemporary globalization-identity, migration, hybridity, and the new forms of social life that are emerging as a consequence. As well, he considers supra-state structures like the EU.
After centuries as a major empire, Spain degenerated into a cloistered backwater. With the death of Franco in the mid-70s, it underwent an epochal transformation. Since then, Spain has experienced dramatic social and political transformations, becoming a vibrant democracy and a major tourist destination. Barcelona has become a "world" city, and the nation's cultural output is now on par with other major European countries. Spain and Portugal have long histories at the cutting edge of world relations, managing far-flung empires, and McDonogh stresses this historical perspective. But he also foregrounds 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.
