Hijas del exilio

Daughters of exile is an exercise in recovering historical memory based on the life experience of ten women belonging to the second generation of the republican exile of 1939. Although the historical contextualization of the content of their testimonies allows us to travel through a period, which goes from the last third of the 19th century to the present, the most important thing is that all of them, mostly born in France, are heirs to the values ??of the Second Spanish Republic. Ten unique women who have shaped their identity under the influence of the values ??of the Second Spanish Republic (1931-1936) and the legacy of the Republic at war (1936-1939) and who feel unbreakably linked to the memory of their ancestors, to your family history. The book is structured in two parts. The first unfolds from four initial blocks, the background and the Republic, the Republic at war, the Withdrawal and the Resistance against fascism, which would correspond to the past, to the precursors of the ten women. The second is developed in two sections "the reconstruction of truncated lives and survival in duality and history and memory: the legacy of the Republic" and it is they who become aware of their reality when carrying out the exercise.
