Should Spain Return Colonial-Era Artifacts to Latin America?
¿Debe España devolver los objetos coloniales a América Latina?
What this debate covers
“Should Spain Return Colonial-Era Artifacts to Latin America?” (“¿Debe España devolver los objetos coloniales a América Latina?” in Spanish) is a two-sided Spanish debate on personal & public identities — both arguments written out in full. A Madrid museum curator says world-class museums protect humanity's shared heritage. A Quechua historian from Cuzco says you cannot share what was taken. Both want the objects preserved — they disagree on where, and by whom.
Each side is written at three levels — A2 Foundations, B1 Intermediate and B2 Advanced — with a one-tap English translation, the argument vocabulary you need to reuse, and discussion questions to take into conversation.
