Challenging this stereotype, &#8220;Rereading the Black Legend&#8221; contextualizes Spain&#8217;s uniquely tarnished reputation by exposing the colonial efforts of other nations whose interests were served by propagating the Black Legend. A distinguished group of contributors here examine early modern imperialisms, including the Ottomans in Eastern Europe, the Portuguese in East India, and the cases of Mughal India and China, to historicize the charge of unique Spanish brutality in encounters with indigenous peoples during the Age of Exploration. The geographic reach and linguistic breadth of this ambitious collection will make it a valuable resource for any discussion of race, national identity, and religious belief in the European Renaissance. \u00a9 1998-2001 Amazon.com, Inc. und Tochtergesellschaften<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0226307220?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0226307220\" target=\"_blank\">Buy at Amazon.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/0226307220?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=19454&amp;creativeASIN=0226307220\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy at Amazon.de<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Greer, Margaret R., Walter D.
