The Sobremesa Podcast

The Spanish Path to Fascism and the Evolution of Franco's Dictatorship


Listen Later

This week's guest is historian Nicolás Sesma whose book on the francoist dictatorship, ‘Ni Una, Ni Grande, Ni Libre’, was named by El País as one of the top ten books published in Spanish in 2024.

The book offers a brilliant re-telling of the four decades of the Francoist regime, placing particular emphasis on how a changing international context impacted its development. It also interrogates and dismantles many of the cliches and received truths around the dictatorship - such as its supposed transformation into a milder or softer dictatorship in its later decades.


Nicolás is Professor of Spanish History and Civilization at the Université Grenoble Alpes.
