As they trudged over the Pyrenees, the Spanish republicans became
one of the most iconoclastic groups of refugees to have sought
refuge in twentieth-century France. This book explores the array of
opportunities, constraints, choices and motivations that
characterised their lives. Using a wide range of empirical
material, it presents a compelling case for rethinking exile in
relation to refugees' lived experiences and memory activities. The
major historical events of the period are covered: the development
of refugees' rights and the 'concentration' camps of the Third
Republic, the para-military labour formations of the Second World
War, the dynamics shaping resistance activities, and the role of
memory in the campaign to return to Spain. This study additionally
analyses how these experiences have shaped homes and France's
memorial landscape, thereby offering an unparalleled exploration of
the long-term effects of exile from the mass exodus of 1939 through
to the seventieth-anniversary commemorations in 2009. -- .
