"Spanish Fascist Writing is a timely collection of texts, including manifestos, speeches, and letters, arranged to introduce readers to a wide spectrum of themes. Together these texts enrich our understanding of right-wing extremism in Spain and worldwide in the past and present. The collection also adds to our interpretation of the historical genealogies of European fascism. Justin Crumbaugh and Nil Santiáñez, as editors of the anthology, provide a useful history of Spanish fascism, a bibliographic essay, and notes, all of which add to the book’s value as a teaching resource. As translators, with María Soledad Barbón, they are aware of the rhetoric of this particular manifestation of fascism and thus are careful to convey the nuances and stylistic idiosyncrasies of every text."

Sara J. Brenneis, Professor of Spanish, Amherst College:

"This fascinating volume speaks to a cutting-edge interest in fascism and its evolution worldwide, filling in a large gap in historical and literary studies. It situates Spanish fascist writing within the European context and provides a case study of Spain, a curated collection of the country’s literature, and short biographies of the major players in the evolution of fascist thought. Justin Crumbaugh and Nil Santiáñez have taken great care in the selection, introduction, and translation of the texts and the breadth and selectivity with which they were chosen make this volume distinct, up-to-date, and invaluable to scholars and students."

Susan Larson, Professor of Spanish, Texas Tech University:

"Our present-day political situation demands that we refamiliarize ourselves with the history of fascism. The translated texts in Spanish Fascist Writing allow us to include the Spanish case into a broader and more historically grounded conversation about fascism that also has the potential to make a significant impact on young people coming into contact with the historical reality and political dangers of fascism for the first time. Spanish Fascist Writing could not have come out at a more opportune time."
