Summary:

Surveying a broad range of texts and images, from Poe's "William Wilson" and John Singer Sargent's El Jaleo to Richard Wright's "Pagan Spain" and Kathy Acker's Don Quixote, Spain's Long Shadow shows how the creation of Anglo-American ethnicity as specifically American has depended on the casting of Spain as a colonial alter ego.
