Historiadores en España
Después de casi cuarenta años de democracia, la ciencia histórica en España se encuentra amenazada por las trampas del presentismo y el relativismo, la memoria, la ideología y los revisionismos políticos. Para comprender lo ocurrido, el libro ofrece una especie de carta geográfica de la historiografía, del oficio y la comunidad de historiadores españoles definida durante el pasado siglo xx. Una institucionalización historiográfica marcada por la guerra civil y la larga dictadura franquista cuyas luces y sombras alcanzan nuestra actualidad más inmediata. Ante tal situación, las propuestas que se despliegan en las páginas de esta obra son claras: primero, por ser una llamada directa a la reflexión autocrítica de una profesión cuyo desarrollo se fortalece o debilita de acuerdo a los impulsos motores que le transmite la noción de responsabilidad. Y, acto seguido, por plantear un programa a favor de la investigación rigurosa de la historia de la historiografía española.

The Conquest of History
As Spain rebuilt its colonial regime in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines after the Spanish American revolutions, it turned to history to justify continued dominance. The metropolitan vision of history, however, always met with opposition in the colonies.The Conquest of History examines how historians, officials, and civic groups in Spain and its colonies forged national histories out of the ruins and relics of the imperial past. By exploring controversies over the veracity of the Black Legend, the location of Christopher Columbus's mortal remains, and the survival of indigenous cultures, Christopher Schmidt-Nowara's richly documented study shows how history became implicated in the struggles over empire. It also considers how these approaches to the past, whether intended to defend or to criticize colonial rule, called into being new postcolonial histories of empire and of nations.

Public Humanities and the Spanish Civil War
This interdisciplinary collection of essays examines contemporary public history’s engagement with the Spanish Civil War. The chapters discuss the history and mission of the main institutional archives of the war, contemporary and forensic archaeology of the conflict, burial sites, the affordances of digital culture in the sphere of war memory, the teaching of the conflict in Spanish school curricula, and the place of war memory within human rights initiatives. Adopting a strongly comparative focus, the authors argue for greater public visibility and more nuanced discussion of the Civil War’s legacy, positing a virtual museum as one means to foster dialogue.
