In Deiasu No Hakai Wo Meguru Baisho Gimu Ron (Bunko Ao 427-9)

[Machine Translation] This is the last book of Las Casas, who denied the legitimacy of the Spanish conquest and domination of the New World, and who continued to advocate for the freedom and human rights of the indigenous Indians. He denounced all Spaniards who had plundered the New World, and based his theological and legal theories on the obligation to make reparations to the indigenous peoples, and appealed for their fulfillment. This is an alarming book that shook the Spanish colonial society of the time.
