Sommario/riassunto |
|
This text shines a spotlight on the story of the Spanish fighter-turned-explorer, the conquistador. Coverage is given to what it meant to be a conquistador as well as the conquistador's goals: gold, God, and glory. In this title, the reader is taken past the initial phase of land discovery into an exploration of the later stages of colonial land acquisition and European authority over indigenous peoples. |
