"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."
"Explora las culturas diversas de países y pueblos hispanohablantes, junto con los temas, las instituciones, las creencias y los símbolos que han durado o han cambiado con el tiempo."
""Una exploración al centro de la cultura de América Latina. El escritor Carlos Fuentes nos invita a recorrer en El espejo enterrado, la enorme riqueza de nuestra tradición y la vitalidad de nuestra cultura contemporánea. El viaje se inicia en España, atraviesa el mundo indígena, el barroco americano y las gestas independentistas. Va de la múltiple presencia europea en el hemisferio a la singular presencia negra africana; de las cuevas de Altamira a la pintura de José Luis CUevas, Wilfredo Lam y los grafitos de Los Angeles." -- Envase."@es

"Carlos Fuentes looks for his forebears in the mix of people that created Latin America: Spanish, Arab, Jewish, Indian, and African. He asks what is unique in their culture that is cause for celebration in the 500th anniversary year of Columbus."
