Fascism in Spain, 1923–1977
Fascism in Spain, 1923–1977, by celebrated historian Stanley G. Payne, is the most comprehensive history of Spanish fascism to appear in any language. This authoritative study offers treatment of all the major doctrines, personalities, and defining features of the Spanish fascist movement, from its beginnings until the death of General Francisco Franco in 1977. Payne describes and analyzes the development of the Falangist party both prior to and during the Spanish Civil War, presenting a detailed analysis of its transformation into the state party of the Franco regime—Falange Española Tradicionalista—as well as its ultimate conversion into the pseudofascist Movimiento Nacional. Payne ...
Not So Innocent Abroad
With its specific focus on the connections between politics, travel, and travel writing, Not So Innocent Abroad offers a fresh approach to the study of travel literature. The authors make clear that travel and travel writing are never an “innocent” enterprise; rather, journeying always occurs within political systems, and travel writing either reflects the traveler’s political stance, includes political aspects of foreign cultures, or directly or indirectly influences political decisions. In contrast to most scholarly publications that primarily focus on travel literature of former colonial nations, this volume includes a broader range of travelogues depicting cultures worldwide, spann...

Conspiracy and the Spanish Civil War
Written by one of the most celebrated historians of the Spanish Civil War, this book presents a fascinating account of the origins of the war and the nature and importance of conspiracy for the extreme right. Based on exhaustive research, and written with lucidity and considerable humour, it acts as both an outstanding introduction to the vast literature of the war, and a monumental contribution to that literature.

Spaniards and Nazi Germany
Only the indecisiveness of Spanish dictator Franco and diplomatic mistakes by the Nazis, argues Bowed (history, Ouachita Baptist U., Arkadelphia, Arkansas) prevented the Nazi supporters in the Spanish fascist party from bringing Spain into World War II on the side of the Axis. Still, he points out, Spaniards helped Germany by serving in its armies, working in its factories, and promoting its ideas to other nations. The study began as a doctoral dissertation for Northwestern University. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Volver para contarlo. Temas y tendencias en la narrativa española de viajes del siglo XX
La narrativa de viajes es un género fascinante que retrata las transformaciones que han experimentado España y los españoles a lo largo del siglo XX, así como su relación con el resto del mundo. Este estudio monográfico se centra en relatos de viajes escritos por algunos de los escritores más representativos y sobresalientes del género, principalmente Julio Camba, Víctor García de la Serna, Miguel Delibes, Manu Leguineche y Luis Mateo Díez. Con una variada aproximación teórica, que abarca desde la imagología hasta los estudios culturales y postcoloniales, el autor analiza los textos ofreciendo lecturas originales y sorprendentes revelaciones. Los temas estudiados en detalle son la representación de la Otredad, la frontera porosa entre el relato de verdad y el relato de ficción, y el prisma ideológico que determina la mirada del viajero. En el libro se ofrecen parámetros para entender la evolución del género: se distinguen etapas cronológicas, se identifican posturas ideológicas enfrentadas y se analizan métodos de experimentación artística en textos que marcan nuevos derroteros.
Time and Space
Written while in exile in the United States, Time and Space were originally intended to appear together in a single volume. Not until 1986, however, did they appear so in Spanish and not until 1988 were they published together in English. By presenting them together, Jiménez had wanted them to convey the same continuity of emotion, the same philosophical intensity, that he had experienced while writing them. All My Life, he wrote in his introduction, I have toyed with the idea of writing a continuous poem...with no concrete theme, sustained only by its own surprise, its rhythm, its discoveries, its light, its successive joys; that is, its intrinsic elements, its essence. That continuous poe...
