About the author

Bartolomé de las Casas

1484–1566

A fierce witness to the violence of Spain’s conquest of the Americas, this Dominican friar used his pen and his position to argue for the humanity and rights of Indigenous peoples. His writings remain some of the most powerful firsthand moral challenges to colonial abuse.
