Building an Empire and Bringing About a Famine: The Allied Economic Blockade of Spain during the Second World War (1939–1945)
This article focuses on the Francoist ‘New State's’ foreign policy as a means of explaining the failure in food supplies which led to ‘Franco's famine’ in the early 1940s. It contends that eschewing strict neutrality in favour of pro-Axis policies after the outbreak of the Second World War contributed to creating the famine. Faced with Spain's Germanophile stance, first Britain, and later the United States, took a series of measures aimed at prev…
Resistir con hambre? Estrategias cotidianas contra la autarquía en la consolidación del Franquismo
La larga posguerra en España (1939-1952) estuvo marcada por las severas dificultades socioeconómicas que tuvo que afrontar buena parte de la habitación. Para lidiar con la carestía, los hombres y mujeres que vivieron los grises años cuarenta pusieron en marcha pequeñas estrategias cotidianas de subsistencia-resistencia entre las que destacaron los hurtos famélicos y el pequeño estraperlo. Con sus acciones de desobediencia buscaron mitigar su mise…
Facing the Sun’: Nature and Nation in Franco’s ‘New Spain’ (1936–51)
Famine in Spain During Franco's Dictatorship, 1939–52
In the aftermath of civil war, Spain witnessed a period known as the ‘Years of Hunger’, which would extend throughout the postwar years (1939–52). The dictatorship would lay the blame on external factors, although the causes for the collapse of living conditions and food supply over that time lay in its autarkic policies. This article attempts to show that Spain was victim of a famine as a consequence of the economic policies of the Franco dictat…
Before the Altar of the Fatherland: Catholicism, the Politics of Modernization, and Nationalization during the Spanish Civil War
Catholicism has occupied a central place in debates concerning the nature of Francoism. Conventionally, scholars have suggested that the traditional, archaic elements of the Franco Dictatorship made it markedly different from other fascist regimes. This article explores the crucial role that Catholicism played in the popular mobilization, unification, and nationalization of rebel supporters during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939). Instead of foc…
"La corrupción en el franquismo. El fenómeno del "Gran Estraperlo
El artículo se centra en el estudio de la corrupción durante el régimen franquista. Discute el mito, en gran parte vigente en parte de la sociedad actual, de la inexistencia de la corrupción durante el franquismo. Para ello estudiamos un fenómeno hasta ahora no demasiado explorado: el del "gran estraperlo". Un negocio de alto rendimiento que tuvo lugar durante la posguerra, a expensas del sufrimiento, el hambre y la escasez de buena parte de la p…
La corrupción en la España contemporánea. Presentación
Property, the forging of Francoism and collective memory
The mass confiscation of property by Francoists during and after the Spanish Civil War of 1936–39 stands out as one of the most testing issues in Spain’s tortuous recent past. This article explains popular participation in the seizuraes. It also seeks to overcome the divorce in the historiography between Francoist and Republican confiscations and between the history of the seizures and their collective memory. It further shows that historians str…
Silenciando el pasado
Analizando la incapacidad de Occidente para comprender la revuelta esclava más importante de la Historia junto a la negación del Holocausto y los debates sobre El Álamo y Cristóbal Colón, Michel-Rolph Trouillot nos ofrece una sorprendente reflexión sobre cómo el poder funciona en la producción de la Historia. Con una introducción de la renombrada investigadora Hazel V. Carby, Silenciando el pasado es un análisis indispensable de los silencios de …
Mass Killings and Violence in Spain, 1936–1952: Grappling with the Past
Historians have only recently established the scale of the violence carried out by the supporters of General Franco during and after the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. An estimated 88,000 unidentified victims of Francoist violence remain to be exhumed from mass graves and given a dignified burial, and for decades, the history of these victims has also been buried. This volume brings together a range of Spanish and British specialists who offer a…
Fascismo en las instituciones del "Nuevo Estado"? Personal político, cultura política y participación en el franquismo (1936-1951)
A través del estudio del personal político de las instituciones del régimen franquista entre 1936 y 1951, el artículo pretende contribuir al debate sobre la naturaleza del Nuevo Estado, alineándose con las posturas que consideran que fue un régimen parafascista. Se estudia para ello el perfil socioeconómico y político del personal de las altas instituciones del Estado, los gobernadores civiles y los ayuntamientos urbanos y rurales. En esos ámbito…

The Stability and Consolidation of the Francoist Regime. The Case of Eastern Andalusia, 1936–1950
The stabilisation and longevity of Franco's regime can be explained by the interpenetration of society and the institutions of the ‘New State’ in three overlapping areas: firstly, in the sphere of the shared culture of the community of civil war victors; secondly, through repression, based on the decisive collaboration of those supporting Francoism, which cut short any possible opposition; thirdly, in the socio-economic sphere, where those making…
Hunger and the Consolidation of the Francoist Regime (1939-1951)
After the end of the Civil War, the Franco regime tried to consolidate itself in the tragic socioeconomic context of the post-war years. How was it possible for a regime to establish and implant itself in spite of an economic crisis and a desperate and undernourished population? As this article demonstrates, a brutal policy of autarky underpinned the consolidation of Francoism. Through the daily mechanisms of autarky and the black market to which…
