- Title
Hispanism and the historiography of colonial Latin America: North American trends.
- Authors
LANE, Kris
- Abstract
Hispanism or the fascination with all things "Spanish" has a long history in the United States. The phenomenon has had both popular and scholarly manifestations, and thus must be treated broadly when reckoning with the historiography of colonial Latin America produced by Anglophone scholars, both inside and outside the U.S. Apologists, critics, and everyone in between have had to grapple with the Hispanic legacy in the Americas: cultural, religious, economic, environmental, and otherwise. This essay traces the main "Hispanic" concerns or questions that spawned scholarly subfields and schools over the last quarter-century or so among Anglophones working on colonial Latin America. The question remains: to what degree was Hispanism or a concern with Spain's multiple colonial legacies a driver of these historiographical trends? Has Hispanism faded from view or has it simply taken on new guises?
