Title: Rereading the Black Legend
Description: The phrase 'the Black Legend' was coined in protest of the characterization of Spain by other Europeans as backward ignorant, superstitious and fanatically religious. This book challenges this by contextualizing Spain's tarnished reputation exposing how other nations benefitted from propagating this image.
