Title: Bartolomé de las Casas
Description: "In the first of two studies on the theme of Las Casas and African slavery, author examines evolution of the presumption that the European champion of the native Americans was 'anti-Negro,' and then proceeds to attack this 'legend.' Combination of archival research, historical synthesis, logical argumentation, and scholarly citations combine to make a strong case for author's interpretation"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
