Bartolome de las Casas proclaimed: "I have labored to inquire about, study, and discern the law; I have plumbed the depths and have reached the headwaters." The Unheard Voice also plumbs the depths of Las Casas's voice of law in his widely-read and highly-controversial Brevisima relacion-a legal document published and debated since the 16th century. This original reinterpretation of his Very Brief Account uncovers the juridical approach voiced in his defense of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. The Unheard Voice innovatively asserts that the Brevisima relacion's legal character is intimately linked to civil and ecclesial genres of the late Renaissance juridical tradition. This paradigm-shifting book contextualizes the formation of Las Casas's juridical voice in canon law and theology-initially as a secular cleric, subsequently as a Dominican friar, and finally as a diocesan bishop-and demonstrates how his experienced juridical voice fought for justice in trans-Atlantic debates about Indigenous peoples' level of humanity, religious freedom, enslavement, and conquest. Reaching the headwaters of Las Casas's hitherto unheard juridical voice of law in the Brevisima relacion provides readers with a previously unheard interpretation-an appealing voice for readers and students of this powerful Early Modern text that still resonates today. The Unheard Voice of Law is a valuable companion text for many in the disciplines of literature, history, theology, law, and philosophy who read Bartolome de las Casas's Very Brief Account and study his life, labour, and legacy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Casas, Bartolome de las, $d 1484-1566. $t Brevisima relacion de la destruccion de las Indias. 630 07 $a Brevisima relacion de la destruccion de las Indias (Casas, Bartolome de las) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01373448 650 0 $a Indians $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Indians, Treatment of $z Latin America $x History. 651 0 $a Spain $x Colonies $z America. 650 7 $a Indians $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969376 650 7 $a Indians, Treatment of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970120 650 7 $a Spanish colonies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01930866 651 7 $a America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239786 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Orique, David T., $t The unheard voice of law in Bartolome de la Casas' 'Brevisima relacion de la destruicion de las indias' $d Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021. $z 9781003021247 $w (DLC) 2020049285 830 0 $a Routledge studies in the history of the Americas. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020022726.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DB9884C6323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
