Description
Spanish Fascist Writing presents the first collection of Spanish fascist texts in English translation and offers an intellectual and political history of fascist writing in Spain, a history that resituates the country within the larger unfolding of right-wing extremism worldwide from the early twentieth century to the present.
The manifestos, newspaper articles, essays, letters, and pieces of prose fiction gathered in this volume demonstrate why the Spanish case proves essential to a comprehensive understanding of fascism in general. These Spanish fascist texts also highlight the need for comparative analysis in order to better grasp the transnational character of fascism, fascism's profound roots in colonialism, fascism's multiple temporalities, and the rise in recent years of right-wing extremism throughout the world. In short, Spanish Fascist Writing takes Spain from the margins to the forefront of fascist studies.

Reviews / Votes
"Spanish Fascist Writing is a timely collection of texts, including manifestos, speeches, and letters, arranged to introduce readers to a wide spectrum of themes. Together these texts enrich our understanding of right-wing extremism in Spain and worldwide in the past and present. The collection also adds to our interpretation of the historical genealogies of European fascism. Justin Crumbaugh and Nil Santianez, as editors of the anthology, provide a useful history of Spanish fascism, a bibliographic essay, and notes, all of which add to the book's value as a teaching resource. As translators, with Maria Soledad Barbon, they are aware of the rhetoric of this particular manifestation of fascism and thus are careful to convey the nuances and stylistic idiosyncrasies of every text."- MLA Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for a Translation of a Scholarly Study of Literature Committee
