OLMEDO MUNOZ, Iliana. Representations of memory and exile: the 14th of April celebration in Mexico. Tzintzun. Rev. estud. históricos [online]. 2018, n.68, pp.201-221.  Epub Mar 18, 2020. ISSN 2007-963X.

Due to its long duration, the Republican Exile in Mexico built communities. This closed society was amalgamated through figures, sites of belonging and public representations which sustained their identity and memory. The public celebrations, specifically the one of April 14th, build a memory of the Civil War, participating in the formation of an exile identity, and collaborating in a historiographical construction of resistance in exile and the anti-francoism outside Spain.
