‘Topographies of Fascism is an original, ambitious, and innovative study which offers fascinating insights into the use and representation of space in Spanish fascism… Only with books like this will the spectre of Spanish fascism be finally exorcised.’- Jordi Cornellà (Bulletin of Spanish Studies January 2016) ‘This is a good tool for writers and researchers interested in Spanish Civil War, fascist politics, and literature.’- C. Prieto (Choice Magazine, vol 51:06:2014)
