After the Civil War
The Spanish civil war was fought out not only on streets and battlefields from 1936 to 1939 but also in terms of memory and trauma in the decades that followed. This fascinating book explores how the memory of Spain's bloody civil war has been contested from 1939 to the present.
A Time of Silence
An account of the fierce repression and economic misery in wartime Spain 1936-45.
Women Political Prisoners after the Spanish Civil War
At the end of the Spanish Civil War the Nationalist government instigated mass repression against anyone suspected of loyalty to the defeated Republican side. Around 200,000 people were imprisoned for political crimes in the weeks and months following 1st April 1939, including thousands of women who were charged with offences ranging from directing the home front to supporting their loved ones engaged in combat. Many women wrote and published texts about their experiences, seeking to make their voices heard and to counteract the dehumanising master narrative of the right-wing victors that had criminalised their existence. The memoirs of Communist women, such as Tomasa Cuevas and Juana Doña,...
The Francoist Military Trials
In Spain between 1936-1945, the Franco regime carried out one Europe’s more brutal but less remembered programs of mass repression. Many were murdered by the regime’s death squads, and in some areas Francoists also subjected up to 15% of the population to summary military trials. Here many suffered the death sentence or jail terms up to thirty years. Although historians have recognised the staggering scale of the trials, they have tended to overlook the mass participation that underpinned them. In contrast to the discussion in other European countries, little attention has been paid to the wide scale collusion in the killings and incarcerations in Spain. Exploring mass complicity in the ...
The Age of Mass Child Removal in Spain
This book examines the ideas and practices underpinning state removal of children. Early twentieth century Spanish juvenile courts were involved in taking children from poor families, families displaced by war, and from political opponents. This study captures the voice and agency of the marginalized children and parents affected by mass removals.
Francoist Repression and Incarceration in Contemporary Spanish Culture
This book examines the cultural articulation of Spanish History (and histories (remembered, meaningful experiences). It analyzes how real people and fictional characters experience the rupture of post-war repression, as their vindicating collective memory counters the authoritarian narrative and laws that demonized and criminalized them. The book, that breaks the persistent cycle of denial of Francoist malfeasance, is a resource for scholars and students who research the representation of Spain’s dictatorship, its aftermath and the recovery of postdictatorial memory.

República literaria y revolución (1920-1939)
REPÚBLICA LITERARIA Y REVOLUCIÓN (1920-1939) quiere ser un ensayo de interpretación de un proceso cultural que trata de reconstruir el hilo rojo de la literatura española durante los años veinte y treinta. Un hilo rojo que tuvo a la intelectualidad comunista como vanguardia que trató de hacer compatibles literatura y política. Pero una vanguardia que comprendía no sólo a los intelectuales militantes sino también a los «compañeros de viaje», que colaboraron juntos, en oposición al fascismo ascendente, en la construcción del Frente Popular de la cultura española. Libros, editoriales, periódicos y revistas alimentaron a un público formado mayoritariamente por lectores de la bu...
En defensa de mi hogar y mi pan
Escondidas entre las medidas de control político, social, sexual y moral del régimen de Franco se encuentran las voces de mujeres anónimas de la posguerra zaragozana. Aunque buena parte de ellas fueron víctimas de la represión ejercida por la Ley de Responsabilidades Políticas, la justicia ordinaria o la jurisdicción militar, sus voces no han sido arrasadas. Al contrario, sus habilidades para defenderse, protestar, liderar procesos de duelo y reconstrucción de sus hogares, o para presentarse como sujetos de derechos y agenciarse los recursos para salir adelante, sugieren una lectura diferente. Este libro recupera sus experiencias como agentes de la memoria en la posguerra, así como sus negociaciones del discurso público y sus resistencias no violentas para la supervivencia ética, cultural y material.
