overnments, and a constant struggle between loyalty to its founding principles and the challenges of exercising power in practice. This second volume of 'Y Andalucía se levantó' continues the rigorous account begun in the first, exploring the lights and shadows of the Andalusian Party in democracy: its victories, its alliances, its internal fractures, its decisive role in cities such as Seville and Jerez, and its tireless struggle to give Andalusia its own voice and policies rooted in its reality. José Luis de Villar once again offers a documented and passionate chronicle, this time focusing on the key years that defined the maturity--and also the decline--of a unique political project.

An essential book for anyone who wants to understand why, for more than two decades, Andalusia had its own party that spoke on its behalf in the squares, town halls, and seats of power.
