Illustrating Spain in the US

For over 400 years, Spaniards have immigrated to the United States, adding their distinctive traditions and culture to America. Spanish immigrants have established missions from Florida to California, fought crucial battles in the Revolutionary War, built a cigar manufacturing empire in Tampa, taught at prestigious American universities, graced the silver screen of Hollywood, made astonishing scientific advances in US laboratories, and much more. Much of this fascinating history has been lost to the sands of time ― until now.
Illustrating Spain in the US brings together some of Spain's most acclaimed cartoonists and scholars to celebrate the vibrant political, cultural, and scientific exchange between Spain and the US. Combining the graphic expressiveness of comic art with the illuminating perspective of scholarly essays, this project will spark a creative dialogue about Spain's legacy in the US.
