Description
Through dozens of interviews, intensive reporting, and deep research and analysis, Sebastiaan Faber sets out to understand what remains of Francisco Franco's legacy in Spain today. Faber's work is grounded in heavy scholarship, but the book is an engaging, accessible introduction to a national conversation about fascism. Spurred by the disinterment of the dictator in 2019, Faber finds that Spain is still deeply affected-and divided-by the dictatorial legacies of Francoism.
This new edition, with additional interviews and a new introduction, illuminates the dangers of the rise of right-wing nationalist revisionism by using Spain as a case study for how nations face, or don't face, difficult questions about their past.

Reviews / Votes
Reviews for the first edition:"A notable reportage... An exercise in independent critique that concludes differently than one would expect." -Jordi Amat, El PaIs
"Faber's book returns to a crucial problem for Spanish democracy and offers a catalogue of answers that ... are an invitation to rewrite the history of Francoism." -Oscar Buznego, El periOdico de EspaNa
"Independent, intelligent, uncomfortable, open to dialogue and discussion. Necessary." -Guillem MartInez, Contexto
"Faber's scholarship is unique among Hispanists, bringing together the rigor of academia with the incisiveness of journalism. Few scholars of contemporary Spain have taken the role of writing for a learned but non-specialist readership as seriously and successfully as he has." -Mari Paz Balibrea, The Historian
