16世紀にアメリカ大陸を侵略したスペインのコンキスタドール(スペインのアメリカ大陸征服者や探検家)。本書は侵略したコンキスタドールと、侵略されたアメリカの先住民族、さらには西半球支配への人々の挑戦、といったテーマで、コンキスタドール文化の起源、植民地支配を含むアメリカ大陸の征服の結果を概観します。
  

  • Examines the world of the invaders and the invaded and successive human efforts to control the Western hemisphere.
  • Explores the civilizations that the Spanish encountered in the New World as well as looking at the genesis of the conquistador culture in the Iberian, Atlantic, and early Caribbean world.
  • Looks at the consequence of these conquests on the Americas, including subsequent colonial rule.

 
With startling speed, Spanish conquistadors invaded hundreds of Native American kingdoms, took over the mighty empires of the Aztecs and Incas, and initiated an unprecedented redistribution of the world's resources and balance of power. They changed the course of history, but the myth they established was even stranger than their real achievements. This Very Short Introduction deploys the latest scholarship to shatter and replace the traditional narrative. Chapters explore New World civilizations prior to the invasions, the genesis of conquistador culture on both sides of the Atlantic, the roles black Africans and Native Americans played and the consequences of the invasions. The book reveals who the conquistadors were and what made their adventures possible.

"Dismissing hoary myths, revising the political narrative, integrating the new findings from ethnohistory, and never losing sight of the conquistadors themselves and their indigenous allies as the protagonists of the story, this book provides an intelligent and fresh overview of the conquest of Spanish America for twenty-first century readers." -- Stuart Schwartz, author of Victors and Vanquished: Spanish and Nahua Views of the Conquest of Mexico
