The Franco years were characterised by extraordinary division within the CNT and by the bureaucratisation and ossification of the organisation now part in exile in France. The decimation of the Spanish CNT in 1947 by draconian repression enhanced the role of the exiled CNT, which was now the sole representative of the historic Anarchist movement in Spain. The moribund notion of Anarchism held by the exiled organisation could not attract recruits, and thus new forces drawn to Anarchism in 1960s Spain came through different routes, related, in large part, to the crisis within Marxism. Some of these local activists became convinced of the possibility for a reconstructed CNT, but only if the organisation were 'renewed'. However, the exiled CNT opposed such ideas and used all possible means to undermine the movement for a 'new CNT'. Although the reconstruction of the CNT from 1976 was characterised by the struggle between these two principal forces, the Spanish CNT captured the feelings and enthusiasm of Spanish youth, after the long dark night of Francoism. The 'libertarian boom' was short-lived however, and by 1978 the CNT was in deep crisis, calling for the dissolution of the exiled organisation. The latter, and its allies in Spain, could not allow such a development and 'organised' the Congress of 1979 to prevent this happening. The subsequent irrevocable division of the CNT sheds lights on the political, social and economic fractures that Spain still experiences today"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 610 20 $a Confederacion Nacional del Trabajo (Spain) $x History $y 20th century. 610 27 $a Confederacion Nacional del Trabajo (Spain) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00551290 650 0 $a Anarchism $z Spain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Syndicalism $z Spain $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Spain $x Politics and government $y 1939-1975. 651 0 $a Spain $x Politics and government $y 1975-1982. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / Anarchism. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / Spain & Portugal. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Anarchism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00808387 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Syndicalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01141125 651 7 $a Spain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204303 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Canada Blanch/Sussex Academic studies on contemporary Spain. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018010906.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9E71252C1E3F11EAA58222FC96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
