Given this cultural aggression, it is astonishing that more Latinos have not lost their Spanish altogether, that so many Latinos still speak as much Spanish as they do” (Espada 26-31).

Later declares that this common identity is deeply rooted in the past, “so ancient that we rarely go back so far”, giving to it historical authority. Lastly, civilisations is a clear proclamation of what that we, i.e. Europe, means, what it should be and what it is not living up to.
