Summary

La verdad une

Nos han contado mal la historia y nos la hemos creído. Este es el punto de partida de un sugerente ensayo divulgativo que tiende puentes entre las dos orillas del Atlántico y que ofrece una visión renovada y certera, alejada de maniqueísmos simplificadores, sobre el fértil encuentro entre culturas que cambió el mundo para siempre.
 
Si en España, la primera globalización José Luis López-Linares se encargaba de desmontar la leyenda negra, en Hispanoamérica, canto de vida y esperanza desempolva las viejas partituras que viajaron en los galeones españoles y, tras siglos de olvido y recelo, hace vibrar de nuevo los instrumentos dormidos para despertar una polifonía de voces, orgullosas de reivindicar el legado hispano en el mundo.
 
Nos han contado mal la historia y nos la hemos creído. Por eso es esencial conocer el pasado, para entender el presente y soñar con un futuro compartido.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Truth unites.

We have been told the wrong story, and we believed it. This is the starting point of a thought-provocative informative essay that builds bridges between both sides of the Atlantic and offers a renovated and accurate vision, far from Manichean simplifiers, of the fertile encounter between cultures that changed the world forever.
 
If in Spain, José Luis López-Linares’ first globalization was responsible with dismantling the black legend, in Hispanic America: A Song of Life and Hope, he dusts the old sheet music that traveled in Spanish galleons, and after centuries of forgetfulness and suspicion, makes the dormant instruments vibrate again to awaken a polyphony of voices, proud to vindicate the Hispanic legacy in the world.
 
We have been told the wrong story, and we believed it. Therefore, it is essential to know the past, in order to understand the present and dream of a shared future.
