Johnson, Ph.D. Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Anthony B. Smith, Ph.D. Committee Member _____________________________ Dr. Roberto S. Goizueta, Ph.D. Committee Member ii ABSTRACT HONOR AND CARITAS: BARTOLOMÉ DE LAS CASAS, SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE, AND THE CONQUEST OF THE AMERICAS Name: Costello, Damian Matthew University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. William L. Portier This dissertation - a postcolonial re-examination of Bartolomé de las Casas, the 16th century Spanish priest often called “The Protector of the Indians” - is a conversation between three primary components: a biography of Las Casas, an interdisciplinary history of the conquest of the Americas and early Latin America, and an analysis of the Spanish debate over the morality of Spanish colonialism. The work adds two new theses to the scholarship of Las Casas: a reassessment of the process of Spanish expansion and the nature of Las Casas’s opposition to it. The first thesis challenges the dominant paradigm of 16th century Spanish colonialism, which tends to explain conquest as the result of perceived religious and racial difference; that is, Spanish conquistadors turned to military force as a means of imposing Spanish civilization and Christianity on heathen Indians.

    EURAMERICA Vol. 42, No. 1 (March 2012), 1-43 © Institute of European and American Studies, Academia Sinica http://euramerica.org An Unnatural Alliance? Political Radicalism and the Animal Defence Movement in Late Victorian and Edwardian Britain* TP PT P Chien-hui Li Department of History, National Cheng Kung University No. 1, Da-xue Road, Tainan 70101, Taiwan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This article explores the still understudied relationship between nineteenth-century political radicalism and the animal defence movement by examining, respectively, the relations between the movement and the secularist and socialists strands of political radicalism in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. It points out that although positive secularist and socialist support existed for the animal cause, the relationship between them and the animal defence movement was far from smooth and cordial due to ideological differences. Nonetheless, from the late nineteenth century onward, with the efforts of freethinkers and socialists in the animal defence movement TP Received May 10, 2011; accepted October 6, 2011; last revised October 19, 2011 Proofreaders: Jeffrey Cuvilier, Chia-chi Tseng, Hsin wen Fan, Ying-bei Wang * The article was first read at “The Seventh Conference on Historiography and Philology—New Perspectives on Social History” held at Soochow University, Taipei. The author would like to express her gratitude to Professor Sechin Chien for his insightful comments at the conference and also to the National Science Council for funding this research project (NSC 97-2410-H-030-011- MY2). 2 EURAMERICA to draw on radical political ideas in reaction against the ideologies of the mainstream animal defence movement, sections of the movement underwent radical change in terms of character, ideology and objectives.
