«Ara o mai» is the essay by Joan Fuster, published by E. Climent in 1981 in paperback (61 pages, in Catalan).
Fuster addresses the pending sociolinguistic debate on Catalan: its precarious situation and a problematic future. He criticizes the discourse that the language could not die and argues that preserving it as a language of culture is necessary, but insufficient; its recovery must be formalized simultaneously in all spheres of collective life.
It belongs to the Quaderns Tres i Quatre collection (number 20). The text comes from the Nadala of the Fundació Jaume I (1980), where it was published as «Per a una cultura catalana majoritària».
For readers interested in the Catalan essay, the work of Joan Fuster and the debate on language normalization.
Joan Fuster i Ortells was an influential Catalan writer. He is considered a major writer in the Valencian language, and his work contributed to reinvigorate left-wing, pro-Catalan nationalism in Valencia during the Spanish transition to democracy. In his influential political essay Nosaltres, els valencians (1962) he coined the term Països Catalans to refer to the Catalan-speaking territories.
