The history of the Spanish Civil War

round table discussion

The history of the Spanish Civil War is no longer the exclusive preserve of historians, and there are now hundreds of people who wish to address this past in political terms and, in the case of the heirs of the victims of Francoism, ethical terms. This is a new social dimension for history, with testimony playing the main role. Paul Preston and Julián Casanova will discuss the history of the Spanish Civil War and the relationship between history and memory, the new social dimension of the past that permeates both the debate and political controversy nowadays in Spain.
