To kill a mockingbird. Oseira 1909, analysis of a massacre
Abstract
In 1909 nine people were killed by the Guardia Civil in the village of Oseira (Ourense) when a mob opposed the removal of a canopy from the local church. This episode and the subsequent controversy are analysed in depth to better understand the dynamics of local power under the Restauración regime. The reaction of the opposition has an astonishing resemblance, at a minor scale of course, with the campaign against the Maura government after the Semana Trágica just three months later.
