Overview
The essays examine the linkages between the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America in the area of intellectual production over the centuries. No other book provides such a broad coverage of the most significant intellectual influences between the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America. At the same time, it treats each case study with unparalleled interdisciplinary depth. Original essays by some of the most accomplished scholars from Europe, Latin America, and the United States address not only the question of the meaning of the Quincentennial of the Encounter, but also provide the first reflection on what lies ahead in terms of a research agenda and broader questions concerning the relationship between Europe and Latin America.Editorials

A dozen essays from a March 1991 international conference in Milwaukee explore the enduring cultural ties between the European and American expressions of Iberian culture, extending the subject beyond the limelight it received during the quincentennial of the first contact. Among the topics are the Battle of Roncesvalles as nationalist polemic, the 19th-century Argentine view of Spain, Rodo's Ariel, Hispanic thought during the Franco era, and the 1992 Universal Exposition in Seville.
