Reading Beneath the Hegemonic Discourse: Finding African Agency and Voice in the Seventeenth-Century Canonisation Inquest of San Pedro Claver
Jesuit confessors, African slaves and the practice of confession in seventeenth-century Cartagena
This chapter examines the Cartagena Jesuits' efforts to imbue forced African immigrants with a Christian faith characterized by sorrow for sin and reformation of life. It focuses on their adaptation of Jesuit ‘customary ministries’ – especially those related to confession and penance – to the realities of a cross-cultural, non-European context. Jesuit ministries to African slaves reveal that in fact transformations of Roman Catholic faith and pra…
Religious Transformations in the Early Modern Americas
Collaboration between scholars from a variety of disciplines has resulted in this volume on the multidirectional flow and permutations of religious ideas and practices, with particular attention to colonial New England and Spanish America. By privileging “the collision of European traditions with American environmental and cultural realities,” these essays shed light on “new forms of faith, ecclesiology, and theology” (p. 1).For J. H. Elliott, th…
Asian Slaves in Colonial Mexico: From Chinos to Indians
The Art of Professing in Bourbon Mexico: Crowned-Nun Portraits and Reform in the Convent
Whenever a young woman in colonial-era New Spain opted to join a religious order for the remainder of her life, she did not simply escape the personal restraints of marriage; she became a “bride of Christ” through the solemn ceremony accompanying her profession of vows. Like weddings in the societal sphere, religious vows to the divine spouse were accompanied by pomp and circumstance; the new nun's patrons commissioned her wedding portrait, a gen…
Women of the Iberian Atlantic
The History of the Catholic Church in Latin America: From Conquest to Revolution and Beyond
Perhaps an apropos place to begin this brief review is with the author’s concluding sentence: “In the end, the history of the Church in Latin America is in reality all of this — the large interplay of great ideas and theologies, and the daily faith of the millions of people working out the story of salvation in their own lives and in their own time and place” (p. 275). While other themes have their place in John F. Schwaller’s The History of the …
Women's Literacy in Early Modern Spain and the New World
This new title in Ashgate’s series Women and Gender in the Early Modern World builds on earlier studies of the education of young girls, including Elizabeth Howe’s volume in the same series. Beginning from Garrett Mattingly’s assertion that Spain’s Renaissance was unique in Europe due to the greater participation of women, these 13 essays explore “ways in which women expanded their knowledge in both Spain and the New World and how their societies…
Treatise on Slavery: "Selections from "De Instauranda Aethiopum Salute
For scholars who wish to understand the African-European encounter in the early modern Atlantic world, Alonso de Sandoval’s 1627 treatise on Jesuit ministries among African slaves in the New World is a must-read. Described by literary scholar Margaret Olsen as a “historical and geographic compendium of Africa, apology for Jesuit action in the New World, and practical missionary manual,” the multifaceted work continues to interest scholars from a …
Postscript to his brothers: Reading Alonso De Sandoval's De Instauranda Aethiopum Salute (1627) as a Jesuit spiritual text
For scholars who wish to understand the African/European encounter in the early modern Atlantic world, Alonso de Sandoval's unique treatise is a must-read. Described by literary scholar Margaret Olsen as an "historical and geographic compendium of Africa, apology for Jesuit action in the New World, and practical missionary manual," the work is marked by a complexity of motivations and discourses. In this article, I explore Sandoval's contribution…
Monjas y beatas: La escritura femenina en la espiritualidad barroca novohispana, siglos XVII y XVIII
Roman Catholic women’s spiritual writings represent a challenging, and sometimes dangerous, balancing act. Monjas y beatas explores the contradictions inherent in such literary self-expression, presenting portions of previously unpublished spiritual writings of five novohispano women. The authors explore the tension between individual self-expression and self-understanding, on the one hand, and conformity to institutional demands and replication …

Just like Rosa: History and Metaphor in the Life of a Seventeenth-Century Peruvian Saint
Jacinto Morán de Butrón, the seventeenth-century hagiogragpher of St. Mariana de Jesús, compared his beloved "Lily of Quito" to the world-famous St. Rose of Lima. The metaphor of Rose and Lily had broader implications, however, reflecting the author's conscious desire to advertise the merits of his native province of Quito as a worthy companion to the more affluent and esteemed Lima
