Political Repression and Punishment of Republican Schoolteachers in the province of Lugo

The Consequences of 1936

Abstract

In the context of a social frame as intensely rural as was the province of Lugo in the early twentieth century, the situation of education was dim. However, little by little by the end of 1920s there were signs of progress in pedagogical renewal, which gained momentum during the period of the Second Republic. The Pro-Franco military coup truncated that process and with a toll in human lives. Here we have recovered fragments from this memory.
