«La España de los pingüinos: una visión antibalcánica del porvenir español» is the essay by Enric Juliana, published by Ediciones Destino in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
The essay starts from a survey conducted in the former Yugoslavia in which only a minority declared themselves citizens of the whole and received the nickname of penguins, and transfers that question to 21st-century Spain: is it a country of penguins or are they a minority that must defend its territory? The author, a Catalan journalist based in Madrid, analyzes the center-periphery tensions, the coexistence of Catalonia and the Basque Country with the rest of Spain, the tone of confrontation between parties, the assimilation of immigration and the country's place in Europe. He does so through calm reflection and avoiding the noise of prefabricated trenches, to ask whether concord is possible in the face of disintegration.
The work is part of the Imago Mundi Collection, volume 88 in the series according to Open Library and number 1 in the collection according to Dilve and Amazon data; the imprint is Ediciones Destino, published in Barcelona on January 12, 2006.
Recommended for readers interested in current Spanish politics, the Catalonia-Basque Country-rest of Spain territorial debate and sociopolitical analysis with a constructive intent.
