Socialists of Rural Andalusia Unacknowledged Revolutionaries of The Second Republic
$18.16
Book
A new perspective on the Spanish Second Republic and Civil War emerges from this study of the Socialists of a western Andalusian town. Although Andalusian Socialists contributed substantially to the radicalization of the Spanish countryside, they have been largely ignored by scholars, who have concentrated instead on the activities of the anarchists.
This book studies the Socialists of one particular pueblo, examining their considerable accomplishments in the Second Republic, their repression in and after the Civil War, and their place in postwar Spanish historical memory. It views the radicalization of Socialists as stemming, not primarily from frustration over their failure to bring about land reform, which is the usual interpretation, but just as much from their success in revolutionizing labor relations.
As ethnography, this study is experimental, focusing on a group of people and what happened to them through time rather than on a community or place. Its method may be characterized as serial ethnography, drawing upon oral history, family history, newspapers, and analysis of town archives to reconstruct the pueblo Socialists' experience of the Second Republic and the Franco dictatorship. It interprets pueblo experience in terms of Andalusian concepts of autonomy, hope, kinship, patronage, and politics.
Throughout, the author relates the conflict and change experienced in one pueblo to the experience of other locales similarly situated in the broader dynamic of Spanish national politics. The book includes 18 illustrations and 7 maps.
