{"product_id":"exile-and-cultural-hegemony-sebastiaan-faber-9780826514226","title":"Exile and Cultural Hegemony: Transnational Mayan Identities","description":"After Francisco Franco's victory in the Spanish Civil War, a great many of the country's intellectuals went into exile in Mexico. During the three and a half decades of Francoist dictatorship, these exiles held that the Republic, not Francoism, represented the authentic culture of Spain. In this environment, as Sebastiaan Faber argues in \u003ci\u003eExile and Cultural Hegemony\u003c\/i\u003e, the Spaniards' conception of their role as intellectuals changed markedly over time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first study of its kind to place the exiles' ideological evolution in a broad historical context, \u003ci\u003eExile and Cultural Hegemony\u003c\/i\u003e takes into account developments in both Spanish and Mexican politics from the early 1930s through the 1970s. Faber pays particular attention to the intellectuals' persistent nationalism and misplaced illusions of pan-Hispanist grandeur, which included awkward and ironic overlaps with the rhetoric employed by their enemies on the Francoist right. This embrace of nationalism, together with the intellectuals' dependence on the increasingly authoritarian Mexican regime and the international climate of the Cold War, eventually caused them to abandon the Gramscian ideal of the intellectual as political activist in favor of a more liberal, apolitical stance preferred by, among others, the Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith its comprehensive approach to topics integral to Spanish culture, both students of and those with a general interest in twentieth-century Spanish literature, history, or culture will find \u003ci\u003eExile and Cultural Hegemony\u003c\/i\u003e a fascinating and groundbreaking work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sebastiaan Faber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826514227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826514226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanderbilt University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/13\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.46h x 6.14w x 1.13d","brand":"Sebastiaan Faber","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926597763327,"sku":"9780826514226","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_232d92ae-7ae5-450b-be47-ac4bc59ba706.jpg?v=1681083969","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exile-and-cultural-hegemony-sebastiaan-faber-9780826514226","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
