Resumen
Este artículo analiza la revisión histórica desarrollada por Juan José Hernández Arregui y Jorge Abelardo Ramos en torno a la conquista y los procesos de independencia, en el marco de una reinterpretación hispanoamericanista orientada a recuperar una conciencia histórica regional. Ambos autores dialogan críticamente con el discurso de la Leyenda Negra y con su rectificación, sin reproducir sus simplificaciones. Reconocen la violencia y la explotación del período colonial y cuestionan el valor práctico de las Leyes de Indias debido a su escasa aplicación. No obstante, contextualizan y relativizan dicha violencia al compararla con las prácticas de otras potencias coloniales y al situarla en el marco más amplio de la expansión capitalista europea. En su interpretación, el legado hispánico configuró una unidad territorial, administrativa y cultural que hizo posible la cohesión continental y que, a través del mestizaje, dio lugar a la emergencia de una identidad singular. Asimismo, cuestionan la lectura liberal de las independencias, a las que interpretan como una ruptura con el absolutismo y no con la tradición hispánica, vinculándolas con la crisis española. A partir del análisis de las principales obras de ambos autores, este trabajo establece conexiones con otros discursos historiográficos como la Leyenda Negra y su revisión, y contribuye a comprender el hispanoamericanismo como una dimensión central del pensamiento de estos autores de la Izquierda Nacional.
This article analyzes the historical revision developed by Juan José Hernández Arregui and Jorge Abelardo Ramos concerning the conquest and the independence processes, within the framework of a Hispano-Americanist reinterpretation aimed at recovering a regional historical consciousness. Both authors critically engage with the discourse of the Black Legend and with its historiographical revision, without reproducing its simplifications. They recognize the violence and exploitation of the colonial period and question the practical value of the Laws of the Indies due to their limited application. At the same time, they contextualize and relativize this violence by comparing it with the practices of other colonial powers and by situating it within the broader framework of European capitalist expansion. In their interpretation, the Hispanic legacy configured a territorial, administrative, and cultural unity that made continental cohesion possible and that, through mestizaje, gave rise to the emergence of a singular identity. Likewise, they question the liberal reading of the independence processes, which they interpret as a rupture with absolutism and not with the Hispanic tradition, linking them to the Spanish crisis. On the basis of the analysis of the main works of both authors, this study establishes connections with other historiographical discourses such as the Black Legend and its historiographical revision, and contributes to understanding HispanoAmericanism as a central dimension of the thought of these authors of the Argentine National Left.
