But the common wisdom has shifted as increasing numbers of Spaniards want to know what happened, who suffered, and who is to blame. \u003ci\u003eMemory Battles of the Spanish Civil War\u003c\/i\u003e shows how historiography, fiction, and photography have shaped our views of the 1936-39 war and its long, painful aftermath. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eindignados\u003c\/i\u003e movement and the foundation of Podemos--provide an opportunity for scholars in the humanities to engage in a more activist, public, and democratic practice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSebastiaan Faber\u003c\/b\u003e, Professor of Hispanic Studies, Oberlin College, is the author of several books, including \u003ci\u003eExile and Cultural Hegemony: Spanish Intellectuals in Mexico, 1939-1975\u003c\/i\u003e (also published by Vanderbilt University Press).\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 10.2 x 7.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 31, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45438217093222,"sku":"9780826521781","price":194.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/ErprxkpyyK9780826521781.webp?v=1775951428","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/memory-battles-of-the-spanish-civil-war-history-fiction-photography-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
