Mosaic Fictions
«“Mosaic Fictions is a valuable addition to the emerging bibliography on the Spanish Civil War as a transnational phenomenon, and its concern for intersectional identities brings fresh thinking to the question of how conflicts are used, interpreted, and remembered not only across time but also across broad geographical and cultural spaces… scholars interested in the international and increasingly global resonances of the Spanish Civil War will find here important discussions which connect individual and local identity politics to a distant yet resonant conflict.”»

Mosaic Fictions is the first book-length critical analysis of Canadian Spanish Civil War literature. Exploring published and archival writings, the book focuses on the extensive contributions of Jewish Canadian authors as they articulate the stakes of the Spanish Civil War (1936–9) in the language of a nascent North American multiculturalism.

Reframing the narrative of Spain’s noble but tragic struggle against fascism in the Spanish Civil War, the book demonstrates how marginalized North American supporters of the Spanish Republic crafted narratives of inclusive citizenship amidst a national crisis not entirely their own. Mosaic Fictions examines texts composed between the war’s outbreak and the present to illuminate the integral connections between Canada’s developing national identity and global leftist action.
