Mosaic Fictions is the first book-length critical analysis of
Canadian Spanish Civil War literature. Exploring published and
archival writings, the book focuses on the extensive contributions
of Jewish Canadian authors as they articulate the stakes of the
Spanish Civil War (1936-9) in the language of a nascent North
American multiculturalism. Placing Jewish Canadian writers within
overlapping North American networks of Jewish, Black, immigrant,
female, and queer writers challenges the national distinctions that
dominate current critical approaches to Anglophone Spanish Civil
War literature. Reframing the narrative of Spain's noble but tragic
struggle against fascism in the Spanish Civil War, the book
demonstrates how marginalized North American supporters of the
Spanish Republic crafted narratives of inclusive citizenship amidst
a national crisis not entirely their own. Mosaic Fictions examines
texts composed between the war's outbreak and the present to
illuminate the integral connections between Canada's developing
national identity and global leftist action.
