A controversial figure in his own day (1474-1566), Las Casas might
well be the New World's first political activist. Championing the
cause of the Indians in "Overseas Spain," Las Casas threw his
heart, soul, and fortune into a highly volatile movement. He became
the "Protector of the Indians" and devoted fifty years to the
destruction of Indian slavery. Friede and Keen's collection of
essays increases the understanding of the man and his work by
presenting English translations of the findings of leading modern
European and Latin American specialists on Las Casas.
