"This book looks at teachers' social movements during the Spanish transition to democracy,
between 1970 and 1985. It shows how ordinary teachers struggled to liberate their
country's education system from the legacy of dictatorship. It explores their organizations,
the paths of action they chose and their interaction with the disintegrating autocracy
and the emerging democracy. In addition to analyzing the national aspects of their
initiatives it follows their grass-roots activities in two local contexts, the fast
growing metropolitan city of Madrid and the backward rural province of Salamanca.
It thus combines a general evaluation of the phenomenon with intimate glances at the
people who drove it forward. The success of the transition, the book argues, was due
not only to the maneuverings of political leaders, nor to popular protests in the
streets, but was instead a common civic effort. By vindicating the importance of democratic
professionals it thus illuminates the Spanish transition to democracy from a new angle"
