The Passing of Spanish Traditionalism by Lawrence J. Pinnie

Through many years of travel and study, Lawrence J. Pinnie has developed a profound interest in cultural patterns and development in modern Spain.  As a Spanish language instructor, however, he has been distressed by the lack of resource materials pertaining to transformation of contemporary Spanish life.  The Passing of Spanish Traditionalism: Deprivation, Transformation, Credence addresses this problem directly.  Through comprehensive research and lucid analysis, the author presents an organized and precise account of the transformation of lifeways in a most significant period in Spanish society--1931 to 1975.  Not only providing a descriptive profile of modern Spanish society but depicting accurately as well the transition from traditional to contemporary life, this volume offers insight into the evolution of current patterns in Spain.
