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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFaber 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sebastiaan Faber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826521797\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826521798\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 01\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2019","brand":"Sebastiaan Faber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947381555455,"sku":"9780826521798","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d925cb2c-bbfd-41cc-a116-e07d25357ab3.jpg?v=1681518389","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/memory-battles-of-the-spanish-sebastiaan-faber-9780826521798","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
