El Centre Nacionalista Republicà (1906-1910) i el catalanisme d’esquerres

Abstract

The article goes through the history of the Nationalist Republican Center, the first political formation created by left-wing republican Catalanism at the begining of the XX century. Leaving to one side the most common analysis of the CNR, Rubí and Izquierdo propose to go deeper into the subject, putting special emphasis on the role which the CNR traditionally played in the historiography of republicanism. In theses pages the place which this political formation occupied in the social and political context of Catalonia and Spain is also mentioned and, especially, in the reality of catalanism at the begining of the XX century. Some relative reflections about the uneven roots of the CNR through the Catalan geography complete the article
