I didn't read this last year but Imperiofobia y Leyenda Negra by María Elvira Roca Barea.

The book explores how Spanish-speaking countries were misled by their own governments and external forces into believing that the Spanish Empire was one of the worst things that happened to them. This book debunks that narrative.

Hispanism is gaining momentum i think. it is the belief that spanish-speaking nations should form a type of commonwealth or even reunify, similar to what Nayib Bukele envisions for Central America.

Also there's a political movement in Puerto Rico that wants the reunification with Spain.
