Out of the Ivory Tower, into the Digital World? Democratising Scholarly Exchange
The year 2020 has witnessed an unprecedented expansion of scholarly events online. Yet, in the scramble to adapt to difficult circumstances, little reflection has been given to the ways in which these new digital landscapes can reshape our approach to public history more permanently. This article draws upon the authors’ experiences as organisers of the 2020 AskHistorians Digital Conference (AHDC). As one of the first pandemic‐era conferences to b…
The Surest of All Morale Barometers’
Despite considerable scholarly and popular interest in the International Brigades, which fought on the side of the Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War of 1936–9, traditional approaches centred on ‘national’ contingents of foreign volunteers have left significant gaps in historical knowledge. In particular, relations between the foreign volunteers and their Spanish hosts have received little attention, even though these relationships wer…
Politics, Networks and Community
Despite decades of scholarship, historians have struggled to explain the decision made by the tens of thousands of volunteers who joined the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War (1936–9). Recent methodological innovations, particularly the embrace of transnational perspectives, have led to richer appreciations of complex individual motives and circumstances, but have done less to advance general explanations of the phenomenon. Draw…
The ‘Premature Anti-fascists’? International Brigade Veterans’ Participation in the British War Effort, 1939–45
After fighting in the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War of 1936–9, hundreds of Britons returned home to an uncertain future. While the anti-fascist left saw them as heroes, their Communist Party links met with official suspicion, complicated further by the advent of war in September 1939. Popular and scholarly narratives alike have concurred that International Brigade veterans were barred en masse from the armed forces, despite …
Fae nae hair te grey hair they answered the call’
Despite making up over ten per cent of the British volunteers in the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War (1936-9), Scots from Glasgow and the surrounding districts have been overlooked in many accounts of the British involvement in the conflict. In seeking to explain the disproportionate numbers of volunteers from this region, the influence of factors such as economic conditions, political structures and institutions, ideology and…
