«El laberinto de la hispanidad» is the essay by Xavier Rubert de Ventós published in 1992 by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (269 pages, in Spanish).
It compares Hispanic and Anglo-Saxon colonization: each should learn from the other's tradition. It vindicates a Spain that is «ambiguous and hesitant», praises the self-criticism and anthropological sensitivity of the friars in America, and analyzes the «murky legend» of the conquest: caciquismo, coup-mongering and corruption.
Winner of the Espejo de España Prize and published in the United States as «The Hispanic Labyrinth: Tradition and Modernity in the Colonization of America» (1991).
Recommended for readers of history and essays interested in Hispanic identity and the colonization of America.
Xavier Rubert de Ventós was a Catalan philosopher, writer and politician.
