Bartolomé de las Casas.jpg


From Wikipedia:

Bartolomé de las Casas (c. 1484-1566) was a 16th-century Spanish Dominican friar and reformer. He became the first resident Bishop of Chiapas, and the first officially appointed Protector of the Indians. His extensive writings, the most famous and controversial being A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies and Historia de Las Indias, chronicle the first decades of colonization of the West Indies and focus mostly on daily life in the New World and the relations between the colonizers and the natives. They include examples of ill-treatment committed by the colonizers on the indigenous population though its extreme views are considered an early example of the anti-Spanish Black Legend. He participated with other Spanish scholars and friars in the Valladolid debate, a moral and theological debate about life in the Indies, which eventually led to the passing of the 1542 Laws of the Indies for the Good Treatment and Preservation of Natives.
