- Title
El relato histórico negrolegendario en la batalla cultural.
- Authors
Omodeo, Marcelo Gullo
- Abstract
It is in the cultural dimension of power that the Spanish Americans and the Spanish Europeans, in Spanish America and in Spain, have lost the most important of all cultural battles: the battle for the historical narrative. It has been the powers that traditionally confronted Spain and Spanish America that have written —and imposed the narrative— the history of the Spanish conquest of America and the history of the relationship between Spain and Spanish America during the ill-named colonial period. The black legend, the false history of the Spanish conquest of America, has been the most important tool used by Holland, Great Britain, France and the United States in the cultural war they waged against Spain. That cultural war was, although for different reasons, continued, paradoxically, later by the Soviet Union, Cuba and Venezuela.
