Résumé
Bartolomé de las Casas was a man of staggering paradox: a soldier, priest, and wealthy colonial settler who personally benefited from the forced labor system of the encomienda. Then, after a profound, life-altering conversion, he renounced his entire fortune to become the most formidable and infuriating critic the Spanish Crown ever faced. The Voice of Conscience chronicles the epic transformation of Las Casas-from an American profiteer into the world's first sustained human rights activist.
It traces his journey through: The Shock: Witnessing the catastrophic destruction and demographic collapse of Hispaniola. The Fight: His decades-long campaign in the royal court, securing the landmark New Laws and battling his philosophical rival, Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda, in the pivotal Valladolid Debate. The Pen: Unleashing his polemical masterpiece, A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies, a work so explosive it fueled the infamous Black Legend and permanently stained the empire's reputation.
By meticulously applying medieval theology and Natural Law, Las Casas generated radical, futuristic demands for universal human rights, indigenous sovereignty, and moral restitution. His arguments shook the foundations of imperial power and laid the ethical framework for international justice that echoes to this day. Approx.175 pages, 36000 word count
