Memory and Cultural History of the Spanish Civil War: Realms of Oblivion

The volume addresses the study of political violence from a humanistic and democratic perspective. The authors in this anthology explore how we are to rethink political and social narratives of the Spanish Civil War at the turn of the twenty-first century. The chapters utilize the lens of gender, examine myths and otherness, reflect on structural hunger and fear, and narrate testimonials of exile abroad and in Spain. Other topics discussed in this volume are the historical and collective memory of the Spanish Civil War and the dictatorship in the milieu of post-transition to democracy.
