Between 1950 and 1979 in Franco’s Spain, the pollution and the environmental risks associated with chemical factories, agro-industry, dams, coal-fired power stations and nuclear plants triggered social protests. In Aragon, a region divided during the Spanish Civil War that experienced socialist and anarchist collectivizations, anti-francoist workin...
This article analyzes the emergence of the critique of the "environmental coloniality" of Spain’s Francoist dictatorship, and how it connected to the foundation of several environmental injustice struggles in Spain. This coloniality can be observed in contemporary critiques of "internal colonialism", which arose during the 1970s. Green intellectual...

En combinant les sources locales, régionales et nationales on découvre comment les premières plaintes contre la polluti...

The purpose of these societies was to circulate new environmental knowledge and recapitulate international law reforms about the environment. With the upsurge of socioenv...
Dans l'Espagne franquiste, la politique hydraulique du modèle productiviste n'obtint pas un consensus total. Cet article, portant sur une approche régionale, afin de considérer les différentes échelles du conflit et d'assurer l'exploitation d'un maximum de sources, analyse comment le caractère conflictuel de l'environnement a contribué à un changem...
After the Spanish Civil War, Franco's dictatorship developed a national plan to
industrialize the country following the waterways to get energy and water supply. In two
decades the countryside was transformed as a result of the rapid growth in industrial
production. This move was contrasted with the agrarian discourse that the dictatorship used to...
We use written sources and a regional perspective (focused on the region of Aragón) in order to analyze how the Spanish society was capable of articulating environmental protest during the Franco regime and the transition to democracy. Protest was motivated by the environmental inequalities inherent to the regime’s productivistic model. The percept...

Projects
Project (1)
The goal of the proyect is to change my previous research and adapt it to the new context of island, archipelagos and peninsular tropical and subtropical societies.
I will do environmental history of tropical and subtropical societies. Health issues, conservation and hunger or food will be addressed in this proyect.
The project will begin when it finds partners interested in a Global South perspective and an interdisciplinary approach (humanities and environmental sciences).
