Summary
El Espejo Enterrado consists of five one-hour programs on the historical roots of contemporary Hispanic history and culture discussing the origin of modern Latin America from the arrival of the Spanish conquerors to the present. La virgen y el toro: Carlos Fuentes examines the meaning of mestizaje, the mix of people that created Latin America: Spanish, Arab, Jewish, indigenous Indian and African. La batalla de los dioses: Fuentes retraces the indigenous world through its pyramids and sculptures. The return of their blond, exiled god, Quetalcóatl, was forecast for the very year Cortés reached its shores. La edad de oro: The colonies brough Spain enormous treasures, gold silver, chocolate, tomatoes, and the potato. Yet Spain's most powerful ruler, Philip II, lived in austere solitude in a cell-like study. El precio de la libertad: Every year a million Mexicans gather in the great central square of their capital to celebrate El Grito, the cry for indepence. Fuentes crosses the Andes to follow the steps of the great liberators, Bolívar and San Martín. Las tres hispanidades: Spain, Latin American and the Hispanic communities in the United States have all undergone enormous changes. Fuentes comments on the traditions which Hispanic immigrants bring to the US in art, music and dance, and respect for family ties
