"Interpreting Spanish Colonialism" offers a compelling examination
of how historians in Spain and the Americas have come to understand
and write about the Spanish colonial past and its meanings for
national presents. Working from a transnational perspective, the
book brings together scholars of Spain, Latin America, the
Caribbean, and the United States. The eight essays situate
historians writings within the context of their day, suggesting how
history hasperhaps more often than notresponded to present-day
needs, agendas, and expectations.
This collection retraces the link between historiography and
nation-building in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It also
explores how and why Spain and its colonies came to be depicted as
backward and marginal to other European and U.S. modern regimes.
Finally, it questions the contours of contemporary discussions of
colonial and postcolonial histories that have remained largely
silent about the legacies of centuries of Spanish rule.
