Condition: New.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Analysing 100 material objects which helped to shape the Spanish Civil War, this textbook explores one of the seminal events of 20th century through a unique material culture lens. From the plane that carried Francisco Franco to an anarchist newsreel to laxatives excavated in a trench, and from a womans death row letter to a recent graphic novel, this highly illustrated text introduces readers to totally new perspectives from which to interpret the events of 1930s Spain and their impact, both in the country itself and the world beyond it.In engaging self-contained chapters each inspired by a specific item a team of historians offer a panoramic overview of the Spanish Civil War, the Franco dictatorship to which it gave birth, and the ways the conflict has been remembered since the return to democracy. The result is an innovative and accessible study which not only tells the fascinating story of modern Spain, but also teaches students how to engage fully with primary sources and grounds their understanding of the era by discussing objects that are, in some form or another, often still familiar to us today. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardback. Condition: New. In 1867 Alfred LaRocque, a young Quebecker, left home to defend the papacy in Rome. In 1937 journalist and communist Jean Watts travelled to Spain to cover the civil war. In 2023 former corporal Kyle Porter took up arms in Ukraine. Separated by time and cause, the three share a bond with tens of thousands of Canadians who fought, assisted, or died defending other nations or oppressed peoples.The stories of transnational fighters complicate Canada's familiar war narrative, illuminating the motivations and passions that drove people to fight abroad and the legal and political legacies that followed them home. Spanning 150 years, Wars of Conviction explores who fought, why they did so, and what they experienced during and after battle. Canadians' decisions to take up arms in the Papal Zouaves, the Spanish Civil War, the Sino-Japanese War, Vietnam, Syria, and Ukraine provoked both admiration and outrage, invited state scrutiny, and sparked enduring debate over how such fighters should be commemorated.A deftly sketched portrait of the fighters that committed to making foreign wars their own, this volume unsettles military history to better understand an uncertain present.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In 25 innovative thematic essays, The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Spanish Civil War sees an interdisciplinary team of scholars examine a conflict that, more than 80 years after its conclusion, continues to generate both scholarly and public controversy.Split into four main sections covering Military and Diplomatic Issues, Society and Culture, Politics, and Debates, the volume offers a number of unique features. It is unprecedented in its comprehensiveness and includes chapters on topics that are rarely, if ever, explored in the literature of the field: humanitarianism, children and families, material conditions, the decimation of elites, archives and sources, archaeological approaches, digital approaches, public history, and cultural studies approaches. Instead of discussing each of the two warring sides, Republicans and Francoists, separately, as is so often the case, the books thematic structure means that these opposing forces are examined together, facilitating comparison and fresh understanding in numerous areas of study. Contributors from the UK, the USA, Canada, Spain and Denmark also analyse the major controversies and disputes surrounding each topic as part of a detailed exploration of one of the seminal events of the 20th century.
