The biggest victory of the Isabelline Spain, from a propaganda and ideological point of view, was the African War. In this regard, the zarzuela plays an important role in the building of the impression that was intended to be given about the country, although most of these plays had a limited success. Even if this paper is set out as an index of works, it includes several examples of how the titles of the lyric theatre present the same official speech presented at the time of the O'Donnell government. Therefore, they help in the building and spread of the collective worldview instituted in Spain about the Moroccan and the colonial advance, and even about Spain itself in the international context. The Spanish moral, intellectual, religious and cultural supremacy about Muslims, along with their disrepute, put together the ideological speech also implied in this theatre. ; La mayor victoria propagandística e ideológica de la España isabelina fue la Guerra de África. La zarzuela juega aquí un papel importante para construir la imagen que se quiso dar entonces del país, y ello a pesar de que la mayoría de estas obras han tenido un éxito reducido. Aunque este trabajo no se plantea como un exhaustivo catálogo de obras, sí incorpora numerosos ejemplos en los que puede verse cómo los títulos de teatro lírico llevan implícito el mismo discurso oficial que difundía entonces el gobierno de O'Donnell. Contribuyen por ello en la construcción y difusión del imaginario colectivo que se implantó en España sobre los marroquíes y el avance colonial, e incluso del propio país dentro del contexto internacional. La supremacía moral, intelectual, religiosa y cultural de los españoles respecto a los musulmanes, junto al descrédito de éstos, articulan el discurso ideológico que se desprende también en este teatro.

"From dawn to dusk on November 30, 1999, tens of thousands of people shut down the World Trade Organization meeting, facing cops firing tear gas and rubber bullets, the National Guard, and the suspension of civil liberties. An unexpected history was launched from the streets of Seattle, one in which popular power would matter as much as corporate power, in which economics assumed center stage, and people began envisioning who else they could be and what else their economies and societies might look like." "The Battle of the Story of the Battle of Seattle explores how that history itself has become a battleground and how our perception of it shapes today's movements against corporate capitalism and for a better world."--Jacket
