Educating the Educators: Hispanism and Its Institutions

Read (Hispanic languages, State U. of New York-Stony Brook) presents two not altogether unrelated narratives; one previously published, the other not. In the first, he discusses the paradigmatic shifts that have taken place within British Hispanism in response to the historical development of capitalism. The second section consists of three autobiographical essays tracing the author's bumpy journey from his working-class origins through the institutions of academia.
