Title : The Valladolid Controversy - Jean-Claude Carrière - book
Summary :
In 1550, a question stirred Christianity: who were the Indians? Inferior beings to be subjugated and converted? Or men, free and equal?
A legate sent by the Pope must decide. To assist him are two Spanish clerics: Ginès de Sepúlveda, a scholar well-versed in the art of polemics, and Bartolomé de Las Casas, a priest who had lived for many years in the New World. The former defended war in the name of God. The latter fought against the enslavement of the Indians. A dramatic confrontation whose echoes still resonate.
