Description
Summary:	Sharpe sets out to achieve this with a comprehensive overview of how Jewish Canadian writers presented their countrys participation in the Spanish Civil War and integrating these writings with overlapping North American writers through the perspective of race, religion, gender, nationality, and political affiliations. Explaining the background of the social, economic and political issues that led up to the Spanish Civil War and the progression of the three-year conflict is a daunting undertaking. [...]in the book's conclusion, "Remembrance: Envisioning Spain and Canada Now," she assembles the current literary discussions of the social reverberations within Canadian identity produced by the country's participation in the Spanish Civil War To summarize, Sharpe creates an encompassing and noteworthy study of the Spanish Civil War as interpreted by Canadian and North American writers through the lens of gender, race, nationality, and ethnicity.
