| Sumario: | Fascism in Spain? Almost no historian has spoken of fascism in Franco's Spain without denying it altogether, modifying conceptual boundaries or adding terminological parameters (para-, proto-, pseudo-,-ized). Yet, it is just possible that something is not being handled correctly. In this article, through a critical review of some of the central features in the field of historical interpretation of fascism, comparative analysis is employed to re-examine the current characterization of the Franco regime and to identify it as fascist during the civil war and immediate postwar period. In examining some of the latest historiographical debates and advances, this article proposes a coherent reading of Spanish fascism. In this sphere historiography does seem to be in agreement: violence and its contexts occupy a central position in the analysis of fascism. Violence, institutionalization and context are some of the theoretical issues that aim to re-evaluate the position of Franco's Spain within the European family of Fascism. |
