La expedición científica de Malaspina en Nueva España, 1789-1794

El temor a caer en la Teoría de los dos demonios no puede obliterar la necesidad de hacer una autocrítica de la violencia en los setenta. La condena de la represión más sangrienta que sufrió el pueblo argentino no implica la celebración de los crímenes de las organizaciones armadas.

We Spaniards are the people that have done the most in the history of humanity, even shaping the world we inhabit. But also the people most ashamed of their triumphs, their achievements, their victories and their discoveries. The authors dismantle the most controversial elements of the Black Legend, both the traditional one - the Inquisition, the expulsion of the Jews, the conquest of America, the scientific and cultural backwardness, slavery - and the one renewed by the work of the nazionalisms.
