"Las Casas: 'The Apostle of the Indies'" by Alice J. Knight is a biography that tells the compelling story of Bartolomé de Las Casas, a Spanish friar who evolves from colonist to champion of Indigenous rights. Beginning with Las Casas's youth in Seville during the Age of Exploration, it traces his dramatic shift from a participant in the exploitative colonial system to its most outspoken critic. Early on, Las Casas profited from the labor of Indigenous slaves, but witnessing their brutal treatment sparked a moral awakening. It follows Las Casas as he courageously confronts injustice, dedicating his life to defending the native populations of the New World from slavery and oppression.
