Bartolome De Las Casas by Manuel Giménez Fernández
A meticulous scholarly biography of a 16th-century Dominican friar who emerged as the leading advocate for Indigenous rights in the early Spanish Empire. Drawing on extensive archival research, it chronicles his transformation from encomendero to reformer, his petitions before the Crown, the landmark debates on conquest and slavery, and the drafting and contested implementation of the New Laws. The study separates myth from documentation, examines contradictions in his methods, and situates his writings and missions within the theological, legal, and political currents of his time.
