The Genocidal Genealogy of Francoism: Violence, Memory and Impunity

MIGUEZ MACHO, A. (2016): The Genocidal Genealogy of Francoism: Violence, Memory and Impunity, Sussex Academic Press / Cañada Blanch

Public debate over Francosim brings with it substantive disagreements. The Genocidal Genealogy of Francoism engages with the root causes of these disagreements. Violence and the memory of violence are viewed as part of a single phenomenon that has continued to the present, a process that is located within a comparative framework that analyzes the Spanish case beyond the debate between Francoism and anti-Francoism. The author explains the political and judicial proceedings in recent Spanish history with regard to its violent past and the implications for international justice initiatives.
