Sebastiaan Faber, professor of Hispanic studies at Oberlin College, is the author of several books, including Memory Battles of the Spanish Civil War and Exile and Cultural Hegemony: Spanish Intellectuals in Mexico, 1939–1975 (both published by Vanderbilt University Press).

Reviews for the first edition:“A notable reportage... An exercise in independent critique that concludes differently than one would expect.” —Jordi Amat, El PaÍs“Faber’s book returns to a crucial problem for Spanish democracy and offers a catalogue of answers that … are an invitation to rewrite the history of Francoism.” —Óscar Buznego, El periÓdico de EspaÑa“Independent, intelligent, uncomfortable, open to dialogue and discussion. Necessary.” —Guillem MartÍnez, Contexto“Faber’s scholarship is unique among Hispanists, bringing together the rigor of academia with the incisiveness of journalism. Few scholars of contemporary Spain have taken the role of writing for a learned but non-specialist readership as seriously and successfully as he has.” —Mari Paz Balibrea, The Historian
