What's up with Catalonia?

On September 11, 2012, on Cataloniaâ€™s National Day, 1.5 million people from all over Catalonia marched peacefully and joyfully through the streets of Barcelona, behind a single placard: Catalonia: New State in Europe. Fifteen days later, President Artur Mas called snap elections for the Parliament of Catalonia, in order to hold a referendum that would let the people of Catalonia decide their own future. The rest of the world and even Spain were caught by surprise, but the events unfolding in Barcelona have been a long time coming.â€¨â€¨In this new book, 35 experts explore Cataloniaâ€™s history, economics, politics, language, and culture, in order to explain to the rest of the world the fascinating story behind the march, the new legislature, and the upcoming vote on whether Catalonia will become the next new state in Europe.â€¨â€¨With a prologue by Artur Mas, President of Catalonia, and contributions from: Ignasi Aragay â€¢ Laia Balcells â€¢ GermÃ Â Bel â€¢ Laura BorrÃ s â€¢ Alfred Bosch â€¢ NÃºria Bosch â€¢ Roger Buch iÂ Ros â€¢ JoanÂ Canadell â€¢ Pau Canaleta â€¢ Salvador CardÃºs â€¢ Muriel Casals â€¢ Andreu Domingo â€¢ Carme Forcadell LluÃs â€¢ Josep Maria Ganyet â€¢ Salvador Garcia-Ruiz â€¢ Ã€lex Hinojo â€¢ Edward Hugh â€¢ OriolÂ Junqueras â€¢ M.
