The book explores the interplay between space and Republican memory through seven post-millennial literary texts, highlighting the impact of the Civil War, Franco Dictatorship, and subsequent historical periods on identity and power dynamics. By integrating historical scholarship on spatiality in Spain with sociological insights on memory, it reveals how individuals navigate their marginalized identities amidst significant historical and spatial transformations.

"This book aims to illuminate the unique character of Grandes's major postmillennial novels by examining the heretofore unexamined themes of perpetrator and gender memory, as well as reconceiving her representation of the memory of victimhood"-- Provided by publisher
