Popis: We consider the struggle against two of the policies of the Franco regime fought from intellectual republican exile: university reform and appropriation of the concept of “Hispanidad” for the regime’s propaganda purposes. Both issues are traced through the lives and careers of two leading political figures starting in Murcia in the 1920s, when one was chair of criminal law and the other of secondary education. We explore their political activism on opposite sides, service on international missions during the war, and conclude with Mariano Ruiz-Funes’s work at the Union of Spanish Teachers Abroad in Mexico and José Ibáñez Martín’s position as head of the new Ministry of National Education. The analysis focuses on their own articles and speeches, published as books or in journals, including those preserved in their private archives, and considers how they reflect two different Spains.
