“Teachers and the Struggle for Democracy in Spain, 1970–1985, published as part of the Palgrave Studies in the History of Social Movements, constitutes a notable, serious and rigorous contribution to the history of education. This work, when it was first published, was pioneering; today, it has become a fundamental reference work for the study of MPIs in Spain during its latest transition to democracy.” (José Luis Hernández Huerta, European History Quarterly, Vol. 47 (2), 2017)
