Description
The Spanish Civil War in 100 Objects: A Material History of the Conflict and Its Legacy This highly illustrated textbook explores one of the seminal events of the 20th century through a unique material culture lens. It delves into 100 objects that helped shape the Spanish Civil War, offering new perspectives on the conflict and its lasting impact. From plane parts to laxatives excavated in trenches, and from women's death row letters to graphic novels, this engaging study introduces readers to fresh interpretations of the events of 1930s Spain. Each chapter is inspired by a specific item, providing a panoramic overview of the Spanish Civil War, the Franco dictatorship that followed, and how it has been remembered since democracy was restored. By examining these objects, students can gain a deeper understanding of the era and learn to engage fully with primary sources. This innovative study not only tells the fascinating story of modern Spain but also provides valuable insights into the ways history is preserved and interpreted today.
