This volume brings together new interdisciplinary perspectives on
the Spanish Civil War, its victims, its contentious ending, and its
aftermath. In exploring the slow demise of the Spanish Republic and
the course of the Civil War, the authors have chosen to range in
turn over cinematic, literary and historical depictions of the era.
In addition, reactions elsewhere in Europe to the Spanish conflict
are examined; the role of the International Brigades is looked at
afresh; the fate of children displaced during the Civil War is
explored; and the Spanish anarcho-syndicalist movement is
revisited. The volume shows that to be any kind of soldier in the
armies of the Republic, or even to be seen as a Republican
sympathiser, was to become a "non-person" in the new order in Spain
under Franco, and sets what supporters of the Republic had to
endure within the wider European and international context of the
period. This book offers timely fresh insights into the failure of
the Spanish Republic and into a society that tried in vain to unite
its divided people during what was a seismic era in Spain's
history. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Bulletin of Spanish Studies.
