The Spanish Civil War left a legacy of destruction, resentment and
deep ideological divisions in a country that was attempting to
recover from economic stagnation and social inequality. After
Franco's victory, the repression and purge that ensued immersed
Spain in a spiral of fear and silence which continued long after
the dictator's death, through 'the pact of oblivion' that was
observed during the transition to democracy. Memories of the
Spanish Civil War: Conflict and Community in Rural Spain attempts
to break this silence by recovering the local memories of survivors
of the Civil War and the early years of Franco's dictatorship.
Combining oral testimony gathered in one Andalusian village, with
archival research, this ethnographic study approaches the
expression of memory as an important site of socio-political
struggle.
