Wilkes Honors College (Summer 2019) IDS 3932: HONORS THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR IN RETROSPECT: LOSS, MEMORY AND THE PAST (3 CREDITS) SUMMER ABROAD PROGRAM IN MADRID (T & R - 2:00PM-5:00PM) Prof: Dr. Carmen Cañete Quesada E-mail: [email protected] Location (tba): Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain) Contact number: 561-799-8674 (in WHC) (A contact number will be provided while in Madrid) Guernica (1937), Pablo Ruiz Picasso Description of the course: This interdisciplinary course focuses on the legacy of the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) in an European setting, and the implications of this event in Spain’s contemporary society. The course starts with the outbreak of the civil war in July of 1936, and examines the roots of the conflict and the ideological differences between the Republican and National sides that took part in the battle. The exhumation of mass graves in recent years has revived a general interest in rescuing the historical memory of those who lost the war so as to complement the official account of Francoist historiography, and arrive at a more reliable polyphonic version of Spain’s history. Analyzing the war long-term effects, the program also includes a general overview of Francisco Franco’s regime (1939-75); the politics of silence with the Pact of Forgetting [Pacto del olvido] in the late 1970s; and the controversial Law of Historical Memory [Ley de la memoria histórica] which was passed in 2007 in favor of all victims of the civil war and the dictatorship. National and foreign perceptions of the war by Lorca, Hemingway, Orwell, among others, will be combined with films and documentaries, local guest speakers, tours and visits to centers, monuments and sites related to the topic.

  • A Process of Radicalisation: Ideologies of Revolution Within the Anglophone International Brigades
    James Mair A process of radicalisation: Ideologies of Revolution within the Anglophone International Brigades Introduction The International Brigades of the Spanish Civil War have attracted admiration and scorn in from both sides of the political spectrum, either being held up as paragons of anti-fascist internationalism or as dupes of the Comintern who were dogmatically loyal to the whims of Moscow. No matter which position one takes in this debate, it is undeniable that the International Brigades were heavily influenced by Communism, and, as such, generally remained loyal to Stalin and the Soviet Union throughout the war (many upheld Marxism- Leninism until the very end of their lives). However, the extent to which volunteers, and the broader Republican war effort, subordinated themselves to Soviet political imperatives is a more complex question that reveals several interesting conclusions regarding the structure of working class anti-fascism. Traditional histories of the Spanish conflict have only relatively recently begun to pose a serious challenge to the narratives of communist treason contained in books by Burnett Bolloten and Stanley Payne, with the effort primarily being headed by Paul Preston and Helen Graham.1 The International Brigades have always received more generous treatment than any of the Spanish Communists from historians, but very few people have considered this in the context of the Republican experiences of anti-fascist warfare. Domestic and international solidarity during this period was usually constructed on the basis of multi- tendency political coalitions, and as such, militant opposition to the Francoist counterrevolution produced radically transformative political relations. This essay will have a particular focus on the British Battalion of the XV International Brigade, a group of men who saw fierce action at Jarama, Brunete, Belchite, Teruel and the Ebro (references to other Anglophone units will be made when appropriate to the overall narrative).

  • Abraham Lincoln Brigade: African American Internationalism Manifested Jason Huang
    Abraham Lincoln Brigade: African American Internationalism Manifested Jason Huang “The earth bounced under my rubbery legs like the deck of the ship that had brought me across the Atlantic. Each bomb tore open a new hole. Mounds of earth and white-hot shrapnel flew about me. Suddenly I felt a sudden stinging in my legs, but with so much happening I didn’t think any more about it. At moments the entire world seemed to be flying upwards, further darkening and polluting the already thick sulfurous air,” wrote James Yates in his memoir Mississippi to Madrid.1 To the average person, this might sound like a scene from World War Two: the brave American soldier charging fascist lines. However, this took place during the middle of the Spanish Civil War, around three years before the outbreak of the Second World War, and James Yates was not fighting for the United States Armed Forces. Instead, he was one of around ninety African Americans fighting alongside 2700 white Americans in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, an International Brigade composed of volunteers from the United States of America, 3300 miles away from home.2 The intersectionality present on the Republican side of the Spanish Civil War led to one of the most diverse locations in the world in 1936. International Brigades, volunteer battalions consisting of anti-fascists from all over the world, broke down racial, class, and gender barriers. Republican International Brigades had 40,000 volunteer troops from fifty-three countries, some of the furthest coming from China, Palestine, and Costa Rica.3 People of every ideological background, from social democrats to anarcho- syndicalists, to Stalinist communists, all flocked to fight against fascism.

  • Amerykanie W Wojnie Domowej W Hiszpanii (1936–1938)
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS LODZIENSIS FOLIA HISTORICA 97, 2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/0208-6050.97.05 Hanna Marczewska-Zagdańska (Instytut Historii PAN Warszawa)* Amerykanie w wojnie domowej w Hiszpanii (1936–1938) Streszczenie. W artykule na podstawie jednostkowych przykładów zostały przedstawione losy Amerykanów biorących udział w wojnie domowej w Hiszpanii (2800 żołnierzy) po stronie republikanów. Wbrew amerykańskiej ustawie o neutralności i oficjalnym zakazom amerykańscy ochotnicy nielegalnie, różnymi kanałami przerzutowymi, przedostawali się, by zasilić szeregi Batalionu „Abraham Lincoln” i Batalionu „George Washington”, wchodzących w skład XV Brygady Międzynarodowej, zwanej potocznie Brygadą Abrahama Lincolna. Grupa ochotników amerykańskich była zróżnicowana zarówno pod względem statusu społecznego, wykształcenia, jak i pochodzenia narodowego, tzn. korzeni narodowych. Wśród nich byli zarówno zaangażowani, ideowo wyszkoleni w Moskwie dowódcy (R.H. Merriman) czy komunistyczni instruktorzy (S. Nelson), jak i młodzi ludzie, żądni przygód, podatni na propagandę. Byli nauczyciele, artyści, dziennikarze (J.Ph. Lardner), pisarze (Ph.L. Detro), aktorzy (A. Bessie), a także farmerzy, robotnicy (D.M. Reiss) i bezrobotni. Byli biali i Afroamerykanie (O. Law), mężczyźni i kobiety, Słowianie w pierwszym pokoleniu (M. Markovics) i obywatele USA pochodzenia żydowskiego (M. Wolff). Odrębną, specyficzną grupę stanowili piloci (A. Baumler, F. Tinker, J. Allison) oraz lekarze i pielęgniarki. W Hiszpanii, po krótkim, zupełnie niewystarczającym treningu, otrzymywali rozkaz do wyjścia na front, gdzie ginęli (800 zabitych), odnosili rany, dostawali się do niewoli, a nawet dezerterowali (Ph. Crane, B. Abramofsky). Ci, którym udało się przeżyć, w chwili zakończenia działań wojennych powracali do USA z minimalną pomocą administracji F.D. Roosevelta. Ich dalsze losy były nie mniej złożone i dramatyczne, uwarunkowane politycznie (okres maccartyzmu).

Abstract In the late 1930s, a civil war broke out in Spain between the left-wing government and the reactionary forces of the right. The government was supported by volunteers from several countries, including Canada. While the subject of the Canadian volunteers has been the focus of a few works in the past, the question of the level of their ideological cornmitment to the anti-fascist cause in Spain has been left largely unexplored.
