""Galicia, a Sentimental Nation" places Galician literary culture for the first time at the heart of critical debate about the enduring reverberations of colonial structures and repertoires. Miguelez-Carballeira does not just tell us but shows us in stark and persuasive details that the relationship between Galicia and Spain since the nineteenth century cannot be understood without sustained feminist and postcolonial critique. A tour de force."--Kirsty Hooper, University of Warwick
