A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The present work is an attempt to give in one volume the main featms of Spanish hbtory from the standpoint of A merica. It should serve almost equally well for residents of both theE nglish-speaking and theS panish American countries, since the underlying idea has been that Americans generally are concerned with the growth of thatS panish civilization which was transmitted to the new world. One of the chief factors in American life today bthat of the relations between A nglo-S axon and Hispanic A merica. They are becoming increasingly important. The southern republics themselves are forging ahead; on the other hand many of them are still dangerously weak, leaving possible openings for the not unwilling old world powers; and some of the richest prospective markets of the globe are in those as yet scantily developed lands. The value of a better understanding between the peoples of the two A mericas, both for the reasons just named and for many others, scarcely calls for argument. It is almost equally clear that one of the essentials to such an understanding ba comprehension of Spanish civilization, on which that of theS panbh American peoples so largely depends. That information this volume aims to provide. It confines itself to the story of the growth of Spanbh civilization inS pain, but its ultimate transfer to the Americas has been constantly in the writers mind in the choice of hb material, as will appear from the frequent allusions in the text. An attempt bmade to treatS panish institutions not as static (which they never were) but in process of evolution, from period to period. The development of Spanish institutions in the colonies and the later independent states, it bhoped, will be the subject of another volim[ie.
