«Lenguas en guerra» is Irene Lozano's essay on language politics, published by Espasa in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
For Lozano, the lack of their own identity traits leads nationalisms to use languages as a political weapon. Language is a natural and specifically human act, not political or cultural. In Spain, what is common weighs more than what separates: ethnicity, religion, culture, history and Spanish. Language wars are incomprehensible.

For readers interested in Spanish language policy, nationalism and the debate on identity and culture.
