Descrizione:The Spanish Republican Exile in Mexico, the issue of memory and its transmission has been central to historiography, whether the exile is considered as a community or as a cultural phenomenon. The phenomenon had a strong “will to remember” that symbolically preserved the identity of the community(Lida, 2001) and the memories were transmitted to the descendants in the form of “inherited memories” (Acevedo, 2011) that have allowed for a certain trans-generational identity continuity. On the other hand, the continued use of the appellation refugee(s) in a community that was not subject to the legal limits of that term suggests that the uses of that appellation or category also refer to questions of identity and memory. A parallel review of the construction of identity narratives in exile, as well as of the history of the category itself, could shed light on the intricate processes of consolidation of the collective memory and identity of the Spanish Republican Exile in Mexico
