Who where the cronistas of the New World, and how did they influence it?

Question

wwhitlock · Answer

A cronista is a chronicler. A person who gathers historical facts.
Since it's a Spanish word, it's referring to Spanish historians. It would stand to reason that they had a bias towards the Spanish version of events and not the Indian version.

Since they wrote from a European perspective, they influenced their readers towards thinking of the natives as uncivilized, savage, heathen and inferior.
