Bartolome de las Casas and the Defense of Amerindian Rights by Lawrence A Clayton

With the exception of Christopher Columbus, Bartolome de las Casas is arguably the most notable figure of the Encounter Age. This book provides the most wide-ranging and concise anthology of Las Casas's writings. It contains not only excerpts from his most well-known texts, but also his largely unavailable writings on political philosophy and law.

BartolomÉ de las Casas and the Defense of Amerindian Rights is a welcome text for undergraduate and graduate students in a variety of disciplines: history, religion, international relations, anthropology, and others" - Noble David Cook, author of Born to Die: Disease and New World Conquest, 1492-1650" - Clayton and Lantigua's volume does an excellent job of exploring the complex intellectual obsessions of Las Casas and his unwavering quest to seek political and legal justice for the indigenous population of the Americas." - Franklin W. Knight, author of BartolomÉ de las Casas: An Account, Much Abbreviated, of the Destruction of the Indies, With Related Texts
