La colonia

"Useful anthology of Bataillon's multifaceted writings focuses on ideological, historiographic, and religious aspects of the Spanish conquest and ensuing civil wars. Bataillon (1895-1977), a scientific historian, insisted on the fullest possible reconstruction of events, based on all available documentation. His work prompted a number of revisionist interpretations of early colonial period events"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
