Abstract
The aim of this work is to analyse the representation of the black population through Spanish films set in Spain. Knowing how the difference of this “other” has been built (not in a colonial context but in a ‘domestic’ context, and based on the role of language and religion, which are essential for the doctrine of Hispanism) as well as other kind of prejudices linked to sexuality or their misrecognition as subjects, is a key to understanding the historic evolution of racism in Spain.Downloads
