- Summary
- 'Franco Sells Spain to America' is a groundbreaking study of the Franco dictatorship's utilization of Hollywood film production in Spain, American middle-class tourism and sophisticated public relations programmes. It provides an entirely new lens for analyzing and understanding the Franco regime's postwar foreign policy priorities with its focus on Spain's reputational outreach to America, which was of central importance.
