The New Spaniards

Part 1 The making of the new Spain: economic and social change - from the "Years of Hunger" to the "Years of Development"; political change - from dictatorship to democracy; the centre falls apart; socialist Spain; not-so-socialist Spain; the spirit of the new Spain. Part 2 The pillars of society: a modest monarchy; the army - back in step?; a dwindling flock - religion and the church. Part 3 Coming to terms with freedom: sex - the lid comes off...or does it?; women on the verge of a nervous breakdown; relative values; high stakes; a cult of excess; invisible guardians - crime and the police; the law and disorder. Part 4 Government and the individual: the state versus Juan Espanol; the reluctant providers; education - all change in the schools; housing - through the roof. Part 5 Society reflected: the press - more influence than readers; change "on the air"; art and the possible - the politics of culture; a journey without maps; the taming of "the bulls". Part 6 A fissile state: centrifugal forces; the Basques; the Catalans; the Galicians; power to the regions; the new Spaniards.
