«Imperiofobia y leyenda negra» is the historical essay by María Elvira Roca Barea, published by Siruela in paperback (460 pages, in Spanish).
Empires generate black legends: hostile narratives created by intellectuals linked to local powers and adopted by the empires themselves. Roca Barea compares the cases of Rome, the United States and Russia to understand the Spanish Empire, and argues that the prevailing narrative about Spain and Europe is based on propaganda rather than facts.
This volume, the 87th in the Biblioteca de Ensayo / Serie mayor collection, includes a prologue by Arcadi Espada.
Aimed at readers of historical essays and those who wish to review the clichés about Spain and Europe and the construction of the black legend.
