R.V.A. Janssens Master Thesis American Studies University of Amsterdam July 01, 2019 Table of Contents Introduction 3 1. The American Political Reaction to the Spanish Civil War 11 2. The American Cultural Response to the Spanish Civil War 24 Conclusion 52 Bibliography 58 2 Introduction Pablo Picasso’s Guernica first came to New York in 1939 after touring Scandinavia and England. Picasso had been commissioned by the Spanish Republican government to paint a mobilizing piece for the 1937 Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne in Paris that would get the world’s attention for the disastrous Civil War that had been taking place in his native Spain since 1936. Picasso had been uninspired for a long time after accepting the government’s commission, but eventually finished his masterpiece in a little over a month after finally finding inspiration in the horrific bombing of civilians by German Nazi forces in the small Basque town of Guernica. Picasso’s iconic work, accompanied by many other Spanish artworks depicting the horrors of civil warfare, did receive the international attention that the Spanish public art commissioners had hoped for during the World Exposition. As France, England, and the United States had neglected to formally support the Spanish Republicans, the deposed Spanish government embraced the Exposition Internationale as an opportunity to cry for help.

En primer lloc, he de donar les gràcies al meu tutor, Borja de Riquer i Permanyer, per tot el suport que m’ha donat en l’arriscada aposta per especialitzar- me en la història dels Estats Units i per la seva actitud comprensiva davant les inconveniències de seguir el treball d’algú que ha passat la major part d’aquests anys vivint a l’estranger. Del Departament d’Història Moderna i Contemporània de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, també n’he d’agrair els útils comentaris dels professors Francisco Morente i Javier Rodrigo en la comissió de seguiment de tesi. També estic molt agraït a la professora Aurora Bosch de la Universitat de València per la seva generositat intel!lectual i per la seva gran aportació a l’obertura de camins per a l’estudi i la difusió de la història estatunidenca al nostre país.

  • 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).
