The phrase "The Black Legend" was coined in 1912 by a Spanish
journalist in protest of the characterization of Spain by other
Europeans as a backward country defined by ignorance, superstition,
and religious fanaticism, whose history could never recover from
the black mark of its violent conquest of the Americas. Challenging
this stereotype, "Rereading the Black Legend" contextualizes
Spain's uniquely tarnished reputation by exposing the colonial
efforts of other nations whose interests were served by propagating
the "Black Legend."
A distinguished group of contributors here examine early modern
imperialisms including the Ottomans in Eastern Europe, the
Portuguese in East India, and the cases of Mughal India and China,
to historicize the charge of unique Spanish brutality in encounters
with indigenous peoples during the Age of Exploration. The
geographic reach and linguistic breadth of this ambitious
collection will make it a valuable resource for any discussion of
race, national identity, and religious belief in the European
Renaissance.
