What if the condemnation of injustice gave rise both to an early form of anti-racism and to the racial hierarchies that haunt the modern era? Rolena Adorno, David Orique, Mar\u00eda Cristina R\u00edos Espinosa tell the story of how Bartolom\u00e9 de las Casas, a Dominican missionary to New Spain, came to racial consciousness in the presence of slavery. His intellectual rebellion spurred slavery\u2019s apologists to more strident and sinister modes of defense \u2013 but also laid a lasting Christian groundwork for the fight against racial injustice.
