The Terra Lliure experience (1978–1995): limitations and contradictions of an attempt to contribute to the anti-colonial project from Catalonia

Main Article Content

Pedro Álvaro Hervalejo Sánchez

This paper, through the analysis of key ideological, strategic and discursive features of the pro-independence armed organization Terra Lliure, proposes to consider it as an attempt to contribute to the global anti-colonial struggle from Catalonia. This research examines those elements that make up the core of Terra Lliure’s political project, what limitations it establishes to adapt the national liberation movement paradigm to its context, and what contradictions appear in the process. This work mainly uses primary sources produced by the actual organization, combining them with interviews with some of its members.
