Interacting Francoism

The book presents various investigation into 20th-century European dictatorships, with its focus on Franco`s dictatorship and the Spanish Civil War. Francisco Franco’s dictatorship in Spain (1936/1939-1975/1978) was a modern form of authoritarianism, with a strong totalitarian period, like many other dictatorships of the time. Francoism occupies a place in history alongside other different dictatorships of its age, and a comparative analysis might prove to be a powerful tool in order to understand how, in the middle of the 20th century, such a repressive and authoritarian form of political control emerged. One of the most forgotten fascisms, which at the same time was influenced by and inf...

The "New Man" in Radical Right Ideology and Practice, 1919-45

Bringing together an expert group of established and emerging scholars, this book analyses the pervasive myth of the 'new man' in various fascist movements and far-right regimes between 1919 and 1945. Through a series of ground-breaking case studies focusing on countries in Europe, but with additional chapters on Argentina, Brazil and Japan, The "New Man" in Radical Right Ideology and Practice, 1919-45 argues that what many national forms of far-right politics understood at the time as a so-called 'anthropological revolution' is essential to understanding this ideology's bio-political, often revolutionary dynamics. It explores how these movements promoted the creation of a new, ideal human, ...

Fascist Warfare, 1922–1945

This groundbreaking book explores the interpretative potential and analytical capacity of the concept ‘fascist warfare’. Was there a specific type of war waged by fascist states? The concept encompasses not only the practice of violence at the front, but also war culture, the relationship between war and the fascist project, and the construction of the national community. Starting with the legacy of the First World War and using a transnational approach, this collection presents case studies of fascist regimes at war, spanning Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Francoist Spain, Croatia, and Imperial Japan. Themes include the idea of rapid warfare as a symbol of fascism, total war, the role of modern technology, the transfer of war cultures between regimes, anti-partisan warfare as a key feature, and the contingent nature and limits of fascist warfare.

European Fascist Movements

This volume offers a fresh and original collection of primary sources on interwar European fascist movements. These sources reflect new approaches to fascism that emphasise the practical, transnational experience of fascism as a social movement, contextualising ideological statements within the historical moments they were produced. Divided into 18 geographically based chapters, contributors draw together the history of various fascist and right-wing movements, selecting sources that reflect themes such as transnational ties, aesthetics, violence, female activism, and the instrumentalisation of race, gender, and religion. Each chapter provides a chronological, narrative account of movements ...

The International Brigades

'Magnificent. Narrative history at its vivid and compelling best' Fergal Keane The first major history of the International Brigades: a tale of blood, ideals and tragedy in the fight against fascism. The Spanish Civil War was the first armed battle in the fight against fascism, and a rallying cry for a generation. Over 35,000 volunteers from sixty-one countries around the world came to defend democracy against the troops of Franco, Hitler and Mussolini. Ill-equipped and disorderly, yet fuelled by a shared sense of purpose and potential glory, disparate groups of idealistic young men and women banded together to form a volunteer army of a size and kind unseen since the Crusades, known as the ...

The Crucible of Francoism

The July 1936 coup d'tat against the Spanish Second Republic brought together a diversity of anti-Republican political and social groups under the leadership of rebel Africanista military officers. In the ensuing Civil War this coalition gradually came under the rule of Generalissimo Franco. This volume explores the hypothesis that the violence and combat experiences of the war were the fundamental ideological crucible for the Francoist regime. The rebels were a group of reactionary and anti-liberal forces with little ideological or political coherence, but they emerged from the conflict not only victorious but ideologically united under the dictator's power. Key to understanding this transi...

Lessons and Legacies XV

The fifteenth volume in the Lessons & Legacies series, featuring multidisciplinary research in the Holocaust and Jewish cultural history on the theme of Global Perspectives and National Narratives. The fourteen chapters included in this volume manifest three broad categories: history, literature, and memory. These chapters continue the recent trend in Holocaust Studies of a focus on local history, integrating specific regional and national narratives into a more global approach to the event. Newer studies have continued to incorporate what was once termed the periphery into a more global examination of the experiences of Jewish refugees in flight to Latin America, Africa, and the Soviet Unio...

Galicia, un golpe sin cuartel, una guerra sin trincheras

Aunque por el título pueda parecerlo, este no es un libro sobre la historia de Galicia. Es un libro hecho desde Galicia que versa sobre una forma violenta de tomar el poder para derribar una democracia pluripartidista en la Europa de los años treinta y que analiza cómo funcionó el cuarto de ensayo de una dictadura totalitaria que se consolidó en tiempos del fascismo. Como el franquismo fue el único régimen dictatorial salido de las cenizas de una guerra total, enmarcar estas singularidades en los procesos de su tiempo y contextualizarlas es fundamental para aspirar a abordar un estudio más amplio. Detrás del golpe podría decirse que hay mucha más acción militar que reacción pol...

«Corría el año 390 a. C. La ciudad de Roma estaba en manos de los senones, un pueblo galo que había invadido el Lacio desde el norte. Había sido arrasada sin piedad y sus habitantes, presas del pánico, la habían abandonado o habían perecido defendiéndola. Solo unos pocos resistían atrincherados en la colina del Capitolio, pero, vencidos por el hambre, se avinieron a pagar su libertad con un rescate de mil libras en oro. Reunida con esfuerzo tan enorme cantidad, mientras se pesaba el precioso metal en una gran balanza, los romanos observaron que los pesos estaban trucados y, furiosos por el engaño, protestaron ante los galos. Displicente, Breno, el caudillo de los invasores, se lim...
