Puerto Rican Chronicles on the Spanish Civil War. Remains of a Scattered Memory
Abstract
Las noticias sobre la Guerra Civil española tuvieron un enorme impacto en la sociedad latinoamericana y caribeña, generando de inmediato una serie de disputas político-culturales que marcarían el debate público en todo el ámbito hispánico. En el caso de Puerto Rico, no existe hasta la
fecha un trabajo integral dedicado a las crónicas que unos cuantos puertorriqueños, testigos de la
guerra peninsular, enviaron de forma ocasional a determinados medios de la isla o publicaron en
forma de libro una vez que regresaron. Tales crónicas, escritas por voluntarios brigadistas, estudiantes, médicos, políticos, editores y artistas, se hallan esparcidas en las hemerotecas y en libros
descatalogados de no fácil acceso. Recomponer esta memoria dispersa, examinarla y tipificarla
resulta esencial si se tiene en cuenta que, a diferencia de otros países latinos, la prensa puertorriqueña no envió corresponsales de guerra a la península.
The news about the Spanish Civil War had an enormous impact on Latin American and Caribbean
society. This led to political and cultural disputes that would mark the public debate throughout
the Hispanic world. In the Puerto Rican case, there is no exhaustive study of the chronicles on the
Spanish Civil War written by Puerto Ricans. The authors, witnesses of the Peninsular War, occasionally sent their work to some newspapers on the island or published it in book form once they
returned. These chronicles were written by brigade volunteers, students, doctors, politicians, editors, and artists. Nowadays, these documents are scattered in newspaper archives and in out-ofprint books that are not easily accessible. It is essential to reconstruct, examine, and typify this
scattered memory because, unlike other Latin American countries, the Puerto Rican press did not
send war correspondents to Spain.
