"The Transatlantic Las Casas is a great contribution to the history of colonialism and the complex narratives of those involved. This is a volume that achieves its goals: to move beyond the Brevísima, present a less Eurocentric view, and promote Lascasian studies to generate debate and genuine disagreement." - Josefrayn Sánchez-Perry, Loyola University Chicago, in: Reading Religion, April 29, 2025
