🧵 1/3

This afternoon I enjoyed browsing through the printed edition of a recent TLS. One is so much more likely to happen upon the unexpected, and I was not disappointed today.

For example, Notre Dame historian Felipe Fernández-Armesto takes the Yale Latin Americanist Greg Grandin to task in an uncompromising review of "America, América: A New History of the New World":

>>I opened the book expecting instruction and entertainment. I closed it in despair. How can such a shoddy piece, so self-indulgent, so partisan, so ignorant, so poorly written and so carelessly checked, appear over the name of a well-qualified professor and the imprint of a respected publisher? <<

Fernández-Armesto is particularly critical of what he sees as Grandin's recycling of the "black legend" of Spanish colonialism. He concludes his review

>>To "American identity of the future", wrote Walt Whitman in 1883, "Spanish character will supply some of the most needed parts . It is time to realize --for it is certainly true--that there will not be found any more cruelty, tyranny, superstition, etc., in the resume of past Spanish history than in the corresponding resume of Anglo-Norman history". Some people have not realized it yet.<<

What Antonio Espino has written is that #hunger was one of the scourges of "Los Conquistadores" and that in rare cases there was #Necrophagy and #Anthropophagy among the Spaniards who traveled to #America in the 16th century
