Gumersindo Sánchez Guisande (1892-1976), A Compostelan Pediatrator in Exile

Abstract

The study will focus on the figure of Doctor Gumersindo Sánchez Guisande (1892-1976), exiled in Argentina in the context of the Spanish Civil War. Starting from a particular story, the occurrence of this doctor also shows a collective experience. From his family documents, institutional sources and journalistic archives, his career is reconstructed, which will show the search for new spaces of inclusion as well as his will to prolong his militancy. It will also be possible to review mechanisms of resistance, of insertion and of individual and group participation.
