Topographies of Fascism

Topographies of Fascism offers the first comprehensive exploration of how Spanish fascist writing – essays, speeches, articles, propaganda materials, poems, novels, and memoirs – represented and created space from the early 1920s until the late 1950s.

Nil Santiáñez is a professor of Spanish and international studies at Saint Louis University.

‘Topographies of Fascism is an original, ambitious, and innovative study which offers fascinating insights into the use and representation of space in Spanish fascism… Only with books like this will the spectre of Spanish fascism be finally exorcised.’

C. Prieto:

‘This is a good tool for writers and researchers interested in Spanish Civil War, fascist politics, and literature.’

Enric Ucelay-Da Cal, Department of Humanities, Universitat Pompeu Fabra:

“An original and enormously erudite work, Topographies of Fascism contributes significantly to historical and literary understanding. I was struck by the Nil Santiáñez’s breadth of research, especially his capacity to uncover unknown or forgotten texts. His objectives are ambitious in the extreme, but backed up by equally extremely solid scholarship.”
