| Summary: | "Spain has for too long been considered peripheral to the human catastrophes of World War II and the Holocaust. This volume is the first broadly interdisciplinary, scholarly collection to situate Spain in a position of influence in the history and culture of the Second World War and the Holocaust. Featuring essays collected from international experts representing the fields of history, literary studies, cultural studies, political science, sociology, and film studies, this book clarifies historical issues in Spain, while also demonstrating the impact of Spain's involvement in the Holocaust on theories of memory. Many of the contributors have done extensive archival research with an eye toward bringing new information and perspectives to the table: in many cases, the essays published here analyze primary and secondary material previously unavailable in English. Accessible and engaging, this book will serve as a foundational and rich point of interdisciplinary reference as it reaches beyond discipline, genre, nation, and time period to offer unknown evidence of Spain's continued relevance to the Holocaust and the Second World War."-- |
