Although the image of America in the Spanish literature of the Golden Age has not been analyzed very often by the hispanists, it is remarkable that the character of the indiano —the Spaniard that emigrated to the Indias— is condemned by a prose writer from Valladolid, Dr. Cristóbal Suárez de Figueroa, in his fictional work El pasajero, dated in 1617. In that narrative, Suárez strongly disapproves colonization and, without openly defending aborigines, attacks the indianos on the grounds of their greed, ignorance, and double-dealing. In this study, Suárez’s denounce is compared to other contemporaries’ more moderate views.
