«El duelo y la revancha» is the historical essay by Joaquín Leguina, published by Esfera in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
Joaquín Leguina analyzes the sectarianism surrounding the historical memory of Francoism: he denounces those who join the victims' cause late and turn them into a political weapon, against a right wing that avoids addressing the mass graves. The essay also addresses how this confrontation reaches the judiciary and the press.
The original edition dates from 2010, belongs to the Ensayo collection of La Esfera de los Libros, and the full subtitle is «Los itinerarios del antifranquismo sobrevenido».
The work will interest readers of contemporary Spanish history and politics, particularly those following the debate on historical memory.
