This book examines the contested representations of those murdered
during the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s in two small rural
communities as they undergo the experience of exhumation,
identification, and reburial from nearby mass graves. Based on
interviews with relatives of the dead, community members and
forensic archaeologists, it pays close attention to the role of
excavated objects and images in breaking the pact of silence that
surrounded the memory of these painful events for decades
afterward. It also assesses the significance of archaeological and
forensic practices in changing relationships between the living and
dead. The exposure of graves has opened up a discursive space in
Spanish society for multiple representations to be made of the war
dead and of Spain's traumatic past.
