The ability to forget the violent twentieth-century past was long
seen as a virtue in Spain, even a duty. But the common wisdom has
shifted as increasing numbers of Spaniards want to know what
happened, who suffered, and who is to blame. Memory Battles of the
Spanish Civil War shows how historiography, fiction, and
photography have shaped our views of the 1936-39 war and its long,
painful aftermath. Faber traces the curious trajectories of iconic
Spanish Civil War photographs by Robert Capa, Gerda Taro, and David
Seymour; critically reads a dozen recent Spanish novels and essays;
interrogates basic scholarly assumptions about history, memory, and
literature; and interviews nine scholars, activists, and
documentarians who in the past decade and a half have helped
redefine Spain's relationship to its past. In this book Faber
argues that recent political developments in Spain-from the
grassroots call for the recovery of historical memory to the
indignados movement and the foundation of Podemos-provide an
opportunity for scholars in the humanities to engage in a more
activist, public, and democratic practice.
