The Hispanic and Anglo worlds are often portrayed as the Cain and
Abel of Western culture, antagonistic and alien to each other. This
book challenges such view with a new critical conceptual framework
- the 'Hispanic-Anglosphere' - to open a window into the often
surprising interactions of individuals, transnational networks and
global communities that, it argues, made of the British Isles
(England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands and the
Isle of Man) a crucial hub for the global Hispanic world, a
launching-pad and a bridge between Spanish Europe, Africa, America
and Asia in the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries.
Perhaps not unlike today, that was a time marked by social
uncertainty, pandemics, the dislocation of global polities and the
rise of radicalisms. The volume offers insights on many themes
including trade, the arts, education, language, politics, the
press, religion, biodiversity, philanthropy, anti-slavery and
imperialism. Established academics and rising stars from different
continents and disciplines combined original, primary research with
a wide range of secondary sources to produce a rich collection of
ten case-studies, 25 biographies and seven samples of interpreted
material culture, all presented in an accessible style appealing to
scholars, students and the general reader alike.
