Spanish Black Legend: Origins of Anti-Hispanic Stereotypes (Leyenda NegraEspanola: Origenes de los Estereotipos Antihispanicos)

摘要

The document presents a perspective of national culture and history which hasbeen little addressed. The essay presented in a bilingual format offers a brief history of complex issues revolving around anti-Hispanic attitudes that continue into the present. It is not merely an explanation of historical anti-Hispanicism, but a beginning point for those who seek to understand the dynamics of social processes within a democratic context. The history of the Black Legend offers a model of historical stereotyping which many minority groups have suffered.
