Description

What narrative was constructed about Spain to justify its isolation for centuries? How were the darkest images that still survive in popular culture forged? Why do some people even today continue to believe that the Inquisition invented torture or that Spain only sowed death and fanaticism in America? That wasn't in my history book on the Black Legend, which accurately and clearly dismantles one of the longest-running and most effective propaganda campaigns in history. From the libels of Italian merchants to Luther's slander and 19th-century British caricatures, from the Duke of Alba turned into an ogre in Flanders to the tabloid press that paved the way for the Cuban War, this book traces the milestones and mechanisms of an orchestrated smear campaign. The author paints a solid and enlightening picture through contrasting episodes, vilified characters, and hoaxes that still contaminate our global view of history. With a perfect combination of rigor and accessible narrative style, and far from complacency, he offers a critical review of the sources and denounces how this hostile image was accepted--even within Spain--with little resistance. A necessary work for understanding how history is manipulated, who benefits from it... and why we are still paying the price for a legend that was never innocent.
