Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Conquest of Darkness

Standard histories on the Age of Colonisation tell a sad story of the ills inflicted on indigenous peoples by exploitative Western powers. This book offers a realistic corrective. The Spanish conquest of the New World is shown vividly—in its fervour and exuberance, but most importantly, with its central evangelical and civilising impulse that transformed the Americas from savagery into a central part of Christendom.
