The Franco Regime, 1936–1975
The history of modern Spain is dominated by the figure of Francisco Franco, who presided over one of the longest authoritarian regimes of the twentieth century. Between 1936 and the end of the regime in 1975, Franco’s Spain passed through several distinct phases of political, institutional, and economic development, moving from the original semi-fascist regime of 1936–45 to become the Catholic corporatist “organic democracy” under the monarchy from 1945 to 1957. Distinguished historian Stanley G. Payne offers deep insight into the career of this complex and formidable figure and the enormous changes that shaped Spanish history during his regime.
Memories of Resistance
She discusses the factors that provoked the war and how they affected Spanish women - both the "visible" women who during the turbulent 1920s and 1930s tried to become part of mainstream politics and the "invisible" women who came to the fore during the revolutionary years of the Second Spanish Republic from 1931 to 1936 and became activists in the protest against the military insurrection of 1936.
Palestine and International Law
This collection of thirteen essays explains and analyzes the conflict between the Government of Israel and the Palestine Authority over the granting of sovereignty to Palestinians from the point of view of international law. The dispute--emotional, so far intractable, often violent--is of global, not merely Middle Eastern concern. The essays cover two general topics: the political nature of the conflict and the economic issues. The collection includes eight respected contributions previously published and five newly written essays. The contributors represent a range of political alignments and differing perspectives, providing the widest possible scope for understanding the issues and beliefs relating to the conflict. Includes an up-to-date bibliography; fully indexed.
Doves of War
This beautifully written biographical work depicts the lives of four extraordinary women to paint a vivid, dramatic, and poignant portrait of the ideologies, horrific realities, and long-lasting emotional costs of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).
Disremembering the Dictatorship
Most accounts of the Spanish transition to democracy have been celebratory exercise rather than a project of reform. This book strives to present memory as a performative exercise of democratic agents with different and necessarily fragmented recollections.
History and Autobiography in Contemporary Spanish Women's Testimonial Writings
This monograph explores the biographical and autobiographical works of seven 20th-century Spanish women writers: Josefina Aldecoa, Mercedes Formica, Dolores Ibarruri, Pilar Jaraiz Franco, Federica Montseny, Constancia de la Mora, and Isabel Oyarzabal de Palencia. Literary and political figures, these women contest traditional versions of Spanish history through their published works, and offer different perspectives on the role of women within that history. They address the past from diverse ideological standpoints - communism, republicanism, socialism, anarchism and fascism. The text examines the construction of the identity of the female historical subject within a specific sociopolitical context, drawing on relevant critical work from the fields of historicism, feminism and cultural studies.
Eduardo Barreiros and the Recovery of Spain
Born in an impoversihed region of Galicia, possessed of little education and less money, Eduardo Barreiros (1919-1992) rose to become an immensely successful entrepreneur and one of Spain's most prominent industrialists. This book offers a detailed portrait of his personality, character, and entrepreneurial endeavours.
Franco
Francisco Franco (1892-1975), der sich als Führer Spaniens von Gottes Gnaden verstand, herrschte fast vier Jahrzehnte lang über die Geschicke seines Landes. Seit den Anfängen der Diktatur im Spanischen Bürgerkrieg (1936-1939) ist der "Caudillo" eine heftig umstrittene Persönlichkeit: Für die einen steht er für die Zerstörung einer freiheitlich-demokratischen Ordnung, eine grausame Repression und die jahrzehntelange Spaltung der Gesellschaft, andere sehen in ihm eine umsichtige und kluge Persönlichkeit, die Spanien die Kriegsleiden im Zweiten Weltkrieg erspart und für das Wohl des Volkes gewirkt habe. Auch rund 50 Jahre nach dem Tod des Diktators erhitzen die Kontroversen um seine Person die Gemüter der spanischen Gesellschaft. Carlos Collado Seidel beleuchtet die Biographie Francos im Spiegel der aktuellen Forschungen und Debatten.

Las tres Españas del 36
Una perspectiva radicalmente distinta, original e innovadora de la compleja trama de la Guerra Civil española. Paul Preston, probablemente el más importante hispanista de la actualidad, ofrece en este ensayo una perspectiva completamente innovadora de la guerra civil española a partir de las biografías de los personajes que marcaron con su paso el devenir de todos, como José Antonio Primo de Rivera, Manuel Azaña y Francisco Franco. Descifra así un país distinto, la tercera España, que, con el paso del tiempo, desembocaría en la España democrática de hoy, y rompe con el tópico de que la Guerra Civil fue una lucha entre extremos llevada a cabo por fanáticos de la derecha y de la ...
