The Dominican priest Bartolome de las Casas (1485-1566) was a
prominent chronicler of the early Spanish conquest of the Americas,
a noted protector of the American Indians and arguably the most
significant figure in the early Spanish Empire after Christopher
Columbus. Following an epiphany in 1514, Las Casas fought the
Spanish control of the Indies for the rest of his life, writing
vividly about the brutality of the Spanish conquistadors. Once a
settler and exploiter of the American Indians, he became their
defender, breaking ground for the modern human rights movement. Las
Casas brought his understanding of Christian scripture to the
forefront in his defense of the Indians, challenging the premise
that the Indians of the New World were any less civilized or
capable of practising Christianity than Europeans. Bartolome de las
Casas: A Biography is the first major English-language and
scholarly biography of Las Casas' life in a generation.
