La Guerra Civil en la Historia Local. Entre la fragmentación, la identificación colectiva y la metodología histórica

Abstract

This article takes stock of the advances achieved in the local histories of the Civil War, highlighting both their great development in recent years and the gaps that are yet to be filled. Local history provides important insights into the nature of the war. Its contribution is extremely important for historians and citizens of Spain alike in view of the repression suffered by militants of political organisations as well as by their families. The analysis contained here demonstrates how local history can deepen our knowledge and understanding of the Civil War.
