Editorial Reviews

Product Description

An account of Spain's effort in the 16th century to tackle the legal and moral questions raised by the meeting of Europeans and American native peoples. Hanke contends that Spain was not destructive in its conquests of the territories and cultures of Middle and South America, but rather sought to bring those New World lands and peoples under its control in a just and considerate way. This volume features a previously unpublished personal and professional reminiscence by the author, who was a prominent figure in Latin American studies in the United States in the mid-20th century.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fairly detailed and comprehensive book, November 16, 2006
A good read to get the key facts on the struggle between the conquistadores and the Indians. Hanke focuses mainly on the abuses of the conquistadores, the encomienda system and the long battle of Fray Bartolome de las Casas for Indian rights and freedoms. The book is very well organized, with Part II "Spanish Experiments in America", especially interesting. Overall, a worthy read for understanding the reasons behind the conquest and the problems that ensued.
