"This season, in cooperation with the Clements Center, we are reprinting Lewis Hanke's The Spanish Struggle for Justice in the Conquest of America, a classic in the United States historiography of Latin America. This is the first major account in English of Spain's effort in the sixteenth century to tackle the legal and moral questions raised by the meeting of Europeans and American native peoples.
Hanke contends that, contrary to long-held stereotypical views, Spain was not carelessly 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 considered way." (Source)
