Spanish Fascist Writing
This important collection of Spanish fascist writing makes it possible for the first time to fully incorporate Spain into the global history of fascism.
Solidarity with Solidarity
The Polish crisis in the early 1980s provoked a great deal of reaction in the West. Not only governments, but social movements were also touched by the establishment of the Iindependent Trade Union Solidarnosc in the summer of 1980, the proclamation of martial law in December 1981, and Solidarnosc's underground activity in the subsequent years. In many countries, campaigns were set up in order to spread information, raise funds, and provide the Polish opposition with humanitarian relief and technical assistance. Labor movements especially stepped into the limelight. A number of Western European unions were concerned about the new international tension following the Soviet invasion of Afghani...
La extrema derecha española en el siglo XX
El ascenso electoral de la extrema derecha en algunos países europeos durante los dos últimos decenios constituye un fenómeno político de gran importancia, no previsto por las ciencias sociales. Se hacía necesaria una reflexión histórica, sobre el origen y evolución de estos movimientos, que profundizara más allá del report aje periodístico. José Luis Rodríguez Jiménez ha estudiado la extrema derecha española, desde sus raíces en el carlismo y el tradicionalismo del siglo xix hasta la actual situación de división y aislamiento, pasando por su momento culminante en torno a las dictaduras de Primo de Rivera y Franco. Este recorrido histórico pone de manifiesto la complejidad...
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 ...
New Political Ideas in the Aftermath of the Great War
This edited collection presents new research on how the Great War and its aftermath shaped political thought in the interwar period across Europe. Assessing the major players of the war as well as more peripheral cases, the contributors challenge previous interpretations of the relationship between veterans and fascism, and provide new perspectives on how veterans tried to promote a new political and social order. Those who had frontline experience of the First World War committed themselves to constructing a new political and social order in war-torn Europe, shaped by their experience of the war and its aftermath. A number of them gave voice to the need for a world order free from political and social conflict, and all over Europe veterans imagined a third way between capitalist liberalism and state-controlled socialism. By doing so, many of them moved towards emerging fascist movements and became, in some case unwillingly, the heralds of totalitarian dictatorships.
A mí la legión!
La Legión es el cuerpo más singular del ejército español. Desde su creación durante la guerra de Marruecos hasta las actuales misiones de paz, pasando por su papel clave en la guerra civil, José Luis Rodríguez Jiménez nos brinda una magnífica historia que repasa los acontecimientos clave de la España de los últimos cien años. Creada como cuerpo de voluntarios en el reinado de Alfonso XIII y modelada al estilo de la Legión Extranjera francesa por Millán Astray, la Legión combatió en Marruecos hasta conseguir la victoria, tanto tiempo esperada, en 1927. Participó en la represión de la revuelta asturiana de 1934 y en la guerra civil, lo que la identificó con el régimen franquista. Sin embargo, desde principios de la década de 1990, su percepción cambia, a medida que se transforma gracias a su participación en numerosas misiones de paz.
