The Black Legend ((スペイン語:La Leyenda Negra)) is a style of nonobjective historical writing or propaganda that demonizes the Spanish Empire, its people and its culture in an intentional attempt to damage its reputation. The Black Legend propaganda originated in the 16th century, a time of strong rivalry between European colonial powers. The first to describe and denounce this phenomenon was Julián Juderías in his book ''The Black Legend and the Historical Truth'' (Spanish: ), a critique published in 1914 that explains how this type of biased historiography has presented Spanish history in a deeply negative light, purposely ignoring positive achievements or advances. For this anti-Spanish literature, Juderías coined the term ''black legend''. Later writers have supported and developed Juderías' critique. In 1958, Charles Gibson explained that Spain and the Spanish Empire were historically presented as "cruel, bigoted, exploitative and self-righteous in excess of reality."〔Gibson, Charles. 1958. "The Colonial Period in Latin American History" pages 13-14 defines the black legend as "The Accumulated tradition of propaganda and Hispanophobia according to which Spanish imperialism is regarded as cruel, bigoted, exploitative and self-righteous in excess of reality"〕〔 *(Immigration and the curse of the Black Legend )〕 ==Definitions== In his book,〔Juderías, Julián, ''La Leyenda Negra'' (2003; first Edition of 1914) ISBN 84-9718-225-1〕 Juderías defined the Black Legend as Philip Wayne Powell, in his book ''Tree of Hate'',〔Powell, Philip Wayne, 1971, "Tree of Hate" (first Ed.) ISBN 9780465087501〕 also defines the Black Legend: One recent author, Fernández Álvarez, has defined a Black Legend more broadly: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Black Legend」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
