The fall of the Spanish Empire: that period in the nineteenth
century when it lost its colonies in Spanish America and the
Philippines. How did it happen? What did the process of the ""end
of empire"" look like? Empire's End considers the nation's imperial
legacy beyond this period, all the way up to the present moment. In
addition to scrutinizing the political, economic, and social
implications of this ""end,"" these chapters emphasize the cultural
impact of this process through an analysis of a wide range of
representations - literature, literary histories, periodical
publications, scientific texts, national symbols, museums,
architectural monuments, and tourist routes - that formed the basis
of transnational connections and exchange. The book breaks new
ground by addressing the ramifications of Spain's imperial project
in relation to its former colonies, not only in Spanish America,
but also in North Africa and the Philippines, thus generating new
insights into the circuits of cultural exchange that link these
four geographical areas that are rarely considered together.
Empire's End showcases the work of scholars of literature, cultural
studies, and history, centering on four interrelated issues crucial
to understanding the end of the Spanish empire: the mappings of the
Hispanic Atlantic, race, human rights, and the legacies of empire.
