englisch1992 marked the 500th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the 'New World'. When the Spanish government announced its plan to hold large-scale commemorations to mark the occasion, it sparked a storm of controversy: Did 1492 mark the beginning of the encounter of two worlds — or the largest genocide in human history? This book provides an analysis of this multifaceted debate in Spain and Latin America. The issues discussed are now highly topical again: many of the questions raised then need to be answered more urgently today than ever before.

»[E]s gibt kaum deutsche Arbeiten über die Diskussion um die ‚Entdeckung‘ Amerikas, die um den 500. Jahrestag herum stattgefunden hat. […] Die Diskussion darüber, wie das ‚Jubiläum‘ zu begehen sei, zeichnet die vorliegende Arbeit nach. […] Auch mit 30 Jahren Abstand ist es interessant, die Diskussion zu verfolgen.«
Prof. Dr. Georg Kremnitz, Quo Vadis, Romania? QVR, 61, 128–131
