Constituting Modern Spain: Books

All of the following must be purchased, and reading assigned in them must be completed by the date listed in the reading and class topic page. Moreover, you must be prepared to discuss how these primary and secondary materials relate to your particular project for the Institute for Constitutional Research. You must bring the workbooks listed below to every class session.

Adrian Shubert, A Social History of Modern Spain (1990).
Copies of this book are available for purchase from the bookstore of Idaho State University.

Materials for Criticism, Scholarship, and Education.
This is a workbook of constitutional documents of France, Belgium, Mexico, Switzerland, Japan, the Soviet Union, Puerto Rico, and Mozambique. You will obtain this material from The Paperwork Place, 534 South 5th Avenue, 233-3223.

J. B. Owens, Constituting Modern Spain, 1808-1982, vol. 1.
When it is ready, you will also obtain this workbook manuscript from The Paperwork Place. You may wish to call before you go in to make sure that they have enough printed copies as they will prepare them on demand.

J. B. Owens, Constituting Modern Spain, 1808-1982, vol. 2.
This workbook will not be available until later in the semester, and I will announce on our on-line discussion list when it is printed and ready for purchase at The Paperwork Place. It will contain documents related to the Franco Regime, the Constitution of 1978, and the Basque Autonomy Statutes of 1936 and 1979.

NOTE

Turn your books into dialogues: Write your questions in the margin as they occur to you; look for answers as you read and then write these, as you understand them, in the margins. You will post great queries to the on-line list, and you will do brilliantly in the electronic and in-class discussions. You must bring these workbooks with you to EVERY class meeting.
