The Legacy of Bartolomé de Las Casas -- Benjamin Keen Las Casas wrote the book in response to an urgent American problem: the encomenderos of Peru had offered Philip II five million ducats in return for a grant of the perpetual encomienda, which would convert their Indian tributaries into hereditary serfs. Las Casas ultimately advanced a program calling for the suppression of the encomienda, liberation of the Indians from all forms of servitude except a small voluntary tribute to the Crown, and the restoration of the ancient Indian states and rulers, the rightful owners of those lands. Las Casas used this approach to demonstrate the superiority of Aztec and Inca civilization over such cultures as the Greek and Roman. osu.orst.edu /dept/philosophy/ideas/papers/keen.html

San Cristobal de Las Casas --  Encyclopædia Britannica The first person to oppose the enslavement and oppression of the Indians by Spanish colonists in the Americas was Bartolomé de las Casas, a 16th-century missionary and theologian. Founded about 1527 as Villa Real, the settlement was renamed on five occasions before acquiring its present name, which honours Bartolomé de Las Casas, the first bishop of Chiapas. The Roman de la Rose (Romance of the Rose) was one of the most popular French poems of the late medieval period of European history. www.britannica.com /eb/article?tocId=9065284

San Cristobal de las Casas : Introduction Frommers.com The city owes part of its name to the 16th-century cleric Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, who was the town's first bishop and spent the rest of his life waging a political campaign to protect the indigenous peoples of the Americas. San Cristóbal is a colonial town of white stucco walls and red-tile roofs, of cobblestone streets and narrow sidewalks, of graceful arcades and open plazas. San Cristóbal is the principal market town for these Indians, and their point of contact with the outside world. www.frommers.com /destinations/sancristobaldelascasas/0931010001.html

The Pope and the Poor by Jorge Castaneda (FWD from NY TIMES) >From Fray Bartolom de las Casas's defense of the indigenous peoples of New Spain in the 16th century, through the emergence of liberation theology in the 1960's and 1970's, the Latin American coincidence of a powerful church and widespread destitution and inequity has led to unending acrimony. Even the one area where he could have placed himself above the left-right fray and played a lasting role in diminishing poverty and inequality fell prey to his innate ecclesiastical conservatism. So while John Paul II has issued scathing attacks on the widening gaps between rich and poor, town and country, and men and women, he has also helped to make any concerted effort to alleviate these ills far more difficult. mailman.lbo-talk.org /1999/1999-January/001156.html

Zedillo accused the rebels of shunning dialogue, but maintained that despite their refusal, "there is fundamentally social peace" in Chiapas.

H:\J\JOHNDR\My Documents\MHLWWW\RefocusingaVision\MARIOHIGEROS.HTM In one discussion Fray Bartolom‚ Las Casas says, "If judging them [indigenous people] first by war is a form and manner contrary to law and the 'easy yoke and light burden' of Jesus' gentleness, it is the same erroneous way that Mahummad took as well as the Romans who disquieted and robbed the world. Since these Mennonites coming from the persecution in Europe did not have a formulated theological "corpus" for the reasons already stated, they borrowed or were influenced by theological currents that later were seen to contradict the very genius of the Anabaptist biblical insights and understandings. This identification with the suffering of the people led to the persecution of these pastors in the decades of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s and to the massacre of 17 priests in Guatemala in 1982 and 6 Jesuits along with two lay associates in El Salvador in 1990. www.goshen.edu /mhl/Refocusing/MARIOHIGEROS.HTM

Bartolome de Las Casas Las Casas thus became the first person of his time and the only one of his century to denounce the slavery of Africans and the cruelty and immorality of the traffic of slaves.15 After analyzing the unfairness of slavery, he deeply repents for his past actions and suggestions. Las Casas lived during a period in which Spain was conquering the New World, and the conquistadors and the subsequent encomenderos viewed the Indians as natural slaves and as barbarians. There, Las Casas used the arguments developed in his recently written A Very Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies to expose to Charles V and everyone present in the meetings all of the unfairness that was occurring in America. www.loyno.edu /history/journal/Saad.html   (5014 words)

Bibliography - New Spain All Mankind Is One: A Study of the Disputation between Bartolomé de Las Casas and Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda in 1550 on the Intellectual and Religious Capacity of the American Indians.
