From the Preface:
This essay is an attempt to offer a concise and balanced view of the first episode in the Europeanization of the Americas: the founding and consolidation of the earliest modern colonial system. The main protagonists of this endeavor were the Iberians, but important contributions were made by other peoples of Western Europe, West Africa, and - last but not least - the aboriginal Americans.
