  The phrase the Black Legend was coined in 1912 by a Spanish journalist in protest of the characterization of Spain by other Europeans as a backward country. Challenging this stereotype, this book contextualizes Spain's tarnished reputation by exposing colonial efforts of other nations whose interests were served by propagating the Black Legend.
