From the “Basauri Affair” to Spain’s Abortion Law
The present article explores the centrality of gender within the context of Spain’s transition to democracy from a specific perspective: the debate regarding women’s reproductive rights, as this debate was shaped in print journalism. The article’s starting point is 1975, during which the International Women’s Year (launched by the UN) coincided with the dictator’s death. Its end point is July 5, 1985, when the partial legalization of abortions wa…
Introduction
Spatial Crisis and the Experimental Production of Urban Space in Franco’s Spain
The article analyzes the ideological reasoning, planning rationale, and construction of controlled/satellite neighborhoods ( poblados dirigidos) in the metropolitan area of Madrid during the 1950s and 1960s. Poblados dirigidos were compact and minutely planned barrios on which the Franco regime (1939-1975) hinged its hopes for re-directing urban growth and controlling informal urbanization. While the phenomenon of poblados dirigidos was investiga…
L ouie D ean V alencia -G arcía . Antiauthoritarian Youth Culture in Francoist Spain
Antiauthoritarian Youth Culture in Francoist Spain is a highly interesting contribution to the growing scholarship on the origins of Spain’s transition to democracy. Following authors such as Pamela Radcliff, Carme Molinero Ruiz, and Manuel Ortiz Heras, Louie Dean Valencia-García locates the reemergence of a vibrant civil society in the final decade of the Franco dictatorship. His book analyzes the developing pluralism of Spanish society during t…
Teresa, ¿revista para todas las mujeres? Género, clase y espacios de la vida cotidiana en el discurso de la Sección Femenina (1960-1970)
Of all the journals published by the Sección Femenina the monthly Teresa, Revista para Todas las Mujeres, was the most read and the one published for the longest period. It functioned as the official mouthpiece of falangist women between the years 1954-1977, a period in the life of the Franco dictatorship marked by profound political, economic and social changes. The articles, interviews and images published in Teresa constitute a conscious effor…
Mobility of 'the defeated
The article examines the relationship between the movement across space and social mobility by analyzing the conditions for internal migration in Spain during the years of the Franco regime. Specifically it reflects on the ways in which migration from the countryside into self-constructed shantytowns in the greater Madrid area was perceived by migrants themselves, and on the strategies that enabled migration to be carried through. By focusing on …
Becoming Brigadistas
Nearly two hundred men and women left Mandatory Palestine between the years 1936–1938 in order to defend the Second Spanish Republic. Despite the expressions of solidarity with the Spanish Republic, most of the political parties in the Jewish Yishuv were against sending youth from Palestine to join the International Brigades. The goal of strengthening the Jewish presence in Palestine was given priority over and above international solidarity or t…
Memory and cultural history of the Spanish Civil War
Memory andculturalhistory of the Spanish Civil War, edited by Aurora Morcillo, examines various aspects of the history of the Spanish Civil War and its impact on the formation of individual and col
A ‘New’ Woman for a ‘New’ Spain
The Sección Femenina de la FET was founded in 1934 as part of the Spanish Falange. Starting in April 1937 the SF functioned as the sole secular women’s organization of the Franco regime, employing a network of professional, provincial and local delegates throughout the country. Despite its adherence to a radical right-wing ideology and its functioning within an authoritarian regime membership within the SF offered many women a life of unusual pub…
La Guerra de Agua
This article is part of a larger work in progress that tells the story of Orcasitas—fifteen hundred shacks built by immigrants during the 1950s on the southern outskirts of central Madrid. Without any electricity, running water, paved roads, or health or education centers, this section of the city was for many years the embodiment of urban alienation. Yet, Orcasitas is also a success story of a shantytown that has turned into a residential neighb…
Power from Experience. Urban Popular Movements in Late Twentieth Century Mexico. Paul L. Haber
Paul Haber's book, Power from Experience, is the result of ten years of extensive field-work within the complex network of political and civic associations in two of Mexico's largest cities: Mexico City and Durango. Combining the richness of oral sources with an acute understanding of theory, this book is situated at the crossroads between contemporary history, anthropology, and the social sciences
Am I that Body? Seccion Femenina de la FET and the Struggle for the Institution of Physical Education and Competitive Sports for Women in Franco's Spain
The Feminine Section of the Spanish Falange (Sección Femenina de la FET - SF), founded in June 1934, was for almost four decades the official women's organization of Franco's Spain, reaching in its height a total of 680,000 members. Yet despite its impressive size and diverse activities, the organization received little attention from historians. A number of new works have been published recently which attempt to redress the balance. This is achi…
Historical Models — Contemporary Identities
The Spanish Falange was established in Madrid in November 1933 in an attempt to offer new solutions to the severe social and political problems which assailed Spanish society throughout the years of the Second Republic (1931-36) and to the perceived inability of the conservative Right effectively to face the growing threat to Spain’s religious and territorial unity. The Sección Femenina of the Falange (SF), which was founded in June 1934, existed…
