Canarias Libre: the origins of canary nationalism inside the islands (1960 - 1965)
Abstract
This paper deals with the Movimiento Canarias Libre, the first nationalist organization in the Canary Islands, which had a important role in both the resurgence of Canarian nationalism and the opposition to Franco within the archipelago. Through the use of unpublished documents we have been able to analyze in depth the ideology and praxis of that organization, which up to now had been studied only through oral sources. At the same time, we try to measure its social and political impact, as well as its influence in the agenda of the successive Francoist governments.
