Peasantry resistances in a time of silence: the peasantry social conflict in Zaragoza under the first years of Franco’s regime

Abstract

The essay is aimed at studying and trying to analyse the varied forms of peasantry social conflict under the first years of Franco's regime. In order to dive into this issue, we focus prioritarily in the conflicts that they bring about, the problems in particular that cause them and the way they develop. This analysis enables us to assess the extent of Franco's regimes acceptance and, thus, explain the way the relationships within a coercitive power frame are wighed and formulated. Likewise, our essay tries to build bridges with longlasting interpretation guidelines establishing long-term visions.
