Living the Death of Democracy in Spain
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 a seismic era in Spanish history.

Living the Death of Democracy in Spain:
The Civil War and Its Aftermath
Imagen en el calendario de la revista anarquistaTierra y Libertad(diciembre 1938)
Si alguna vez sienten que les hierve la sangre iracunda y otra vez el genio espaol vuelve a enfurecerse con la intolerancia y con el odio y con el apetito de destruccin, que piensen en los muertos y que escuchen su leccin: la de esos hombres que han cado embravecidos en la batalla luchando magnnimamente por un ideal grandioso y que ahora, abrigados en la tierra materna ya no tienen odio, ya no tienen rencor, y nos envan, con los destellos de su luz, tranquila y remota como la de una estrella, el mensaje de la patria eterna que dice a todos sus hijos: PAZ, PIEDAD Y PERDN.
Manuel Azaa (Barcelona, 18 julio de 1938)
