Introduction
Chris Ealham (born 1965) is a British historian and hispanist. He is specialised in the history of anarchism in Spain.
Biography
Born in Kent (England) in 1965. He earned a PhD in 1995 from Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London, reading a dissertation titled Policing the Recession: Unemployment, Social Protest and Law-and-Order in Republican Barcelona, 1930-1936, supervised by Paul Preston.
A former lecturer at Cardiff University and Lancaster University, Ealham, based in Madrid, works as lecturer at Saint Louis University Madrid Campus. A partaker in the often acrimonious debate on Spanish civil war historiography, Ealham argues populist historians have set in motion a pro-Franco revisionism in Civil War studies.
