AB The discourse of Otherness is crucial for constructing identity. This paper deals with the role played by the views of the Other in the creation of an image of the Anglo-American as the positive Other in the Canary Islands (Spain), and the emergence of a view of Canarians as the strange natives of an exotic land. After introducing the socio-historical background for these intercultural contacts, we make a brief reference to the way the discourse of Otherness has been used in cultural and literary studies. Then we offer a series of descriptions taken from a selection of English-written publications dealing with the Canaries.Another section is devoted to the Canarian vision of the “ingleses” (English), mainly through the works of two authors, Guerra and Millares Sall. The article is conceived as a broad survey that tries to account both for textual detail and the discursive trends found in the corpus used.
