 Lewis Hanke, the Clarence and Helen Haring Professor of History from 1969 to 1975, was a scholar of Latin American history best known for his revisionist work on Bartolome de Las Casas, whom he situated at the center of the narrative of Spanish conquest of the Americas. A humanitarian, Las Casas had argued forcefully for the rights of Indians, and Hanke wrote persuasively that Las Casas was merely one member of a broader movement among Spanish colonialists to prevent the "destruction of the Indies."   Lewis Hanke, the Clarence and Helen Haring Professor of History from 1969 to 1975, was a scholar of Latin American history best known for his revisionist work on Bartolome de Las Casas, whom he situated at the center of the narrative of Spanish conquest of the Americas.
