Excerpt from Spain From Within
While a good deal has been written of late years about Spain from the point of view put forward by the governing classes, little or nothing has been said about the people - the mass of the nation - who, unable, the immense majority of them, to read or write, are more inarticulate than their fellows in any country of Europe west of Russia, but who have, nevertheless, very definite aspirations and ideals, entirely distinct from those of their rulers, at whose'hands, dis heartened as they are by long years of misgovern ment, they have almost abandoned any hope of amelioration of their lot.

Excerpt from Spain From Within
"Truth is an exile from our political world. Every faction and every group tells only that part of the truth which reflects discredit on its neighbour. Thus our political literature is interesting only as an archive of monstrosities. The other part of the truth - that which deals with the good qualities of the neighbour - is so out of fashion that nobody believes in its existence. To tell the truth to our politicians would be the greatest proof of friendship that could be offered to them. But who has sufficient courage to attempt it? No one in this world would venture upon so difficult, so disagreeable, and so dangerous a task. The result is that in Spain the only respect paid to the truth is to leave it unspoken." - Nuevo Mundo, Madrid, Feb. 24, 1910.
In the following pages I have endeavoured to show what the people of Spain believe to be the truth about those who exercise authority over them, as gathered from conversation with Spaniards of all classes, but principally working people, in town and country, and from my own reading and observation. Whether my. informants are right or wrong in their opinions and beliefs I do not pretend to decide; all I can declare is that I have faithfully, reported what I have heard and seen.

A historical perspective contextualizes the exploration of the deep distrust and hostility that divide Castilian from Andalusian society, setting the scene for a thematic investigation of social, political, and ethical issues affecting Spain. Ultimately, the aim of this book is to reveal the significance of understanding the complex societal divides which have shaped Spain's path throughout history.
