"Paradoxes of Stasis: Literature, Politics, and Thought in Francoist Spain, by cultural critic and theorist Tatjana Gajić, is a sophisticated exploration of political ideas about the (desired, feared, impossible, necessary) continuity of Francoism as a political culture."—Carlos Varon Gonzalez, Public Books
“Given the novelty, the historical and philosophical importance, and the brilliance of this project, I don’t have any doubt that it will be of much relevance, indeed, a very influential book, for the field of Spanish and European Studies. Tatjana Gajić shows outstanding scholarship, erudition in the European philosophical traditions, sophistication in her literary, historical, and political analysis, and a very approachable writing style.”—Cristina Moreiras-Menor, professor of Spanish and Women’s Studies at the University of Michigan
“Remarkable. Paradoxes of Stasis sheds important new light on the Iberian archive, a topic of continuing debate within the field of peninsular studies. Written with great facility, clarity, theoretical ambition, archival depth, and intellectual rigor, this book represents a solid contribution to the field and is a major piece of serious scholarship.”—Germán Labrador Méndez, associate professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Cultures at Princeton University
