This book explores the role of youth in shaping a democratic Spain, focusing on their urban performances of dissent, their consumption of censored literature, political-literary magazines and comic books and their involvement in a newly developed underground scene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter forty years of dictatorship, Madrid became the centre of both a young democracy and a vibrant artistic scene by the early 1980s. Louie Dean Valencia-García skillfully examines how young Spaniards occupied public plazas, subverted Spanish cultural norms and undermined the authoritarian state by participating in a postmodern punk subculture that eventually grew into the 'Movida Madrileña'. In doing so, he exposes how this antiauthoritarian youth culture reflected a mixture of sexual liberation, a rejection of the ideological indoctrination of the dictatorship, a reinvention of native Iberian pluralistic traditions and a burgeoning global youth culture that connected the USA, Britain, France and Spain. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy analyzing young people's everyday acts of resistance, \u003ci\u003eAntiauthoritarian Youth Culture in Francoist Spain\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fascinating account of Madrid's youth and their role in the transition to the modern Spanish democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53999755034968,"sku":null,"price":142.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350038479.jpg?v=1770911119","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/antiauthoritarian-youth-culture-in-francoist-spain-clashing-with-fascism","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
