Abstract

In 1919, in the wake of the political agenda of US President Wilson, Blas Infante, intellectual leader of Andalucista movement, wrote La Sociedad de Naciones («The League of Nations»). The book is an enthusiastic plea for a society of confederate nations reaching the aspirations of perpetual peace and universal fraternity. Surprisingly, this work has gone unnoticed by experts in the first stage of Andalucismo movement (first third of the twentieth century). We argue in this article that La Sociedad de Naciones is key to understanding and interpreting the so-called nationalist turn traditionally attributed to Andalucismo after World War I.
