A Violent Evangelism: The Political and Religious Conquest of the Americas Paperback - 1992
by Luis N. Rivera
In this thought-provoking book, Rivera argues that evangelical reasoning and symbolism were appropriated to justify the armed seizure of people and land in the New World and to validate the conversion, peaceful or forced, of the natives. He recaptures the 16-century political debates, contrasts "discovery" and conquest, and examines the tragic outcome: demographic collapse from the islands Columbus first sighted to the Inca empire in Peru.
First line
The 1992 celebration of the discovery of the Americas has reignited the old debate about the true meaning of that epoch-making event.
