Abstract
The author discusses the Utopian genre in both Spain and Latin America, arguing that some aspects of Utopia—its island form, its philosophical language, its disdain for gold—indicate that More knew certain Hispanic chroniclers and was at home in this genre’s natural tendency to interpret history in relation to Gospel teaching. A series of examples from Las Casas to Peramás reinforces the view that the Hispanic Utopia takes root principally in a program of political reforms on behalf of native Americans.
