An eye-opening biography of a 16th‑century reformer This edition presents the life of Bartholomew de Las Casas, a Dominican protector of Indigenous peoples and a pivotal voice in early American history. Drawing on contemporary accounts and later historians, it traces his struggle to reform Spanish rule in the Americas and to promote humane treatment of Native communities.

This volume blends narrative with scholarly apparatus, showing how Las Casas advised rulers, faced opposition from those driven by profit, and sought to align conquest with Christian mercy. It also includes material from the appended writings of other observers, offering a fuller view of the era and the debates around colonization.

- Follow the rise of Las Casas from priest to advocate for Indigenous rights
- See the clashes with colonial policy, court politics, and missionary life
- Understand how later historians and editors shaped the record of his work
- Explore the appendix material that situates his efforts within broader politics of the time

Ideal for readers of historical biographies, the early history of the Americas, and religious reform in the 16th century, this edition helps you weigh sources and understand the complexities of empire and mission.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the life and work of Dominican friar and humanist, Bartolom� de las Casas, and his lifelong fight for justice on behalf of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The author sets the scene for this altruistic priest's life by first describing the several decrees passed by the Spanish monarchy in favor of the Indians' protection, and the failure of these laws to be respected or enforced. This book stands as a powerful testament to Las Casas's life and work, and a significant contribution to the history of human rights. Despite resistance from colonists, Las Casas succeeded in awakening the conscience of Europe to the cruelties of the conquest of the Americas and initiating a debate about the rights of indigenous peoples that continues to resonate today. The author's deep research and engaging narrative make this an essential read for anyone interested in the history of colonialism, the ongoing struggle for indigenous rights, and the life of one of the most remarkable figures in the history of social justice.
