The Matica and Beyond
Nineteenth-century national movements perceived the nation as a community defined by language, culture and history. Part of the infrastructure to spread this view of the nation were institutions publishing literary and scientific texts in the national language. Starting with the Matica srpska (Pest, 1826), a particular kind of society was established in several parts of the Habsburg Empire – inspiring each other, but with often major differences in activities, membership and financing. Outside of the Slavic world analogues institutions played a similar key role in the early stages of national revival in Europe. The Matica and Beyond is the first concerted attempt to comparatively investiga...
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...
Colonial Paradigms of Violence
European Holocaust Studies (EHS) publishes key international research results on the murder of the European Jews and its wider contexts. In recent years, scholars have rediscovered Hannah Arendt`s "boomerang thesis" – the "coming home" of European colonialism as genocide on European soil – as well as Raphael Lemkin`s work around his definition of genocide and the importance of its colonial dimensions. Germany and other European states are increasingly engaging in debates on comparing the Holocaust to other genocides and cases of mass killing, memorialization, "decolonization" and attempts to come to terms with the past ("Vergangenheitsbewältigung").
Mediterranean Europe(s)
This book investigates how ideas of and discourses about Europe have been affected by images of the Mediterranean Sea and its many worlds from the nineteenth century onwards. Surprisingly, modern scholars have often neglected such an influence and, in fact, in most histories of the idea of Europe the Mediterranean is conspicuously absent. This might partly be explained by the fact that historians have often identified Europe with modernity (and the Atlantic world) and, therefore, in opposition to the classical world (centred around the Mediterranean). This book will challenge such views, showing that a plethora of thinkers, from the early nineteenth century to the present, have refused to re...
The Routledge Handbook of Spanish History
This handbook offers comprehensive coverage of the history of Spain, exploring key themes and events in four broad but not necessarily rigid temporal categories: medieval, early modern, nineteenth century and twentieth century. The volume situates Spanish history firmly within the broader patterns unfolding across the European continent, emphasizing Spain’s active participation in the processes that determined the development of modern European society. With chapters from leading scholars from both Spanish and international universities, the book helps fill long-standing gaps in European history. This handbook provides original contributions on broad themes in Spanish history which are also accessible syntheses of the most recent scholarship. Making the latest research in Spanish history more widely accessible to an international audience, The Routledge Handbook of Spanish History is an essential reference point for students and scholars of Spain, as well as those working in comparative European history.
The European Experience
The European Experience brings together the expertise of nearly a hundred historians from eight European universities to internationalise and diversify the study of modern European history, exploring a grand sweep of time from 1500 to 2000. Offering a valuable corrective to the Anglocentric narratives of previous English-language textbooks, scholars from all over Europe have pooled their knowledge on comparative themes such as identities, cultural encounters, power and citizenship, and economic development to reflect the complexity and heterogeneous nature of the European experience. Rather than another grand narrative, the international author teams offer a multifaceted and rich perspective...
Golpistas e verdugos de 1936. Historia dun pasado incómodo
Esta é a historia dos verdugos. Non é unha historia heroica nin agradable, tampouco unha historia esquecida. É unha historia que non tiñamos ganas de coñecer, pero que os historiadores e as historiadoras estamos obrigados a indagar e contextualizar. O coñecemento sempre resulta sorpresivo e desvenda erros, mitos, deformacións interesadas. Iso intentamos. Os lectores coñecerán neste libro as dimensións sociais dos verdugos e os colaboradores. Canto se estende a marcha da violencia do golpe. Coñecerán os golpistas perseguindo as autoridades, empezando polas militares. Como foron fusiladas autoridades civís, militares, policiais e administrativas sen que imaxinasen que ían ser executadas, porque esa posibilidade non formaba parte do seu mundo, nin da súa experiencia vital e política.
The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Spanish Civil War
In 25 innovative thematic essays, The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Spanish Civil War sees an interdisciplinary team of scholars examine a conflict that, more than 80 years after its conclusion, continues to generate both scholarly and public controversy. Split into four main sections covering Military and Diplomatic Issues, Society and Culture, Politics, and Debates, the volume offers a number of unique features. It is unprecedented in its comprehensiveness and includes chapters on topics that are rarely, if ever, explored in the literature of the field: humanitarianism, children and families, material conditions, the decimation of elites, archives and sources, archaeological approaches, digit...

Europa desgarrada: guerra, ocupación y violencia, 1900-1950
Hace algunos años, John Keegan se planteaba si acaso los historiadores no debíamos tomarnos «la molestia de reflexionar sobre qué es lo que hace que los hombres se maten entre sí». Este libro analiza las formas de la guerra y la violencia bélica en la Europa de la primera mitad del siglo xx, desde miradas comparadas y trasnacionales y a partir de la renovación metodológica que han supuesto los war studies y la nueva historia militar. Es, pues, un acercamiento a ese gigantesco teatro de lo bélico que fue Europa en la era de las guerras mundiales y civiles, de las ocupaciones, las resistencias, los desplazamientos forzosos y los genocidios. Un viaje al interior de la Europa desgarrada.
