The Jesuits in Latin America, 1549 - 2000
The Society of Jesus established its first mission in Brazil in 1549, a scant nine years after the founding of the society itself. Between that date and 1767, when the society was suppressed in the Americas, the Jesuits built a reputation as educators, missionaries, entrepreneurs, and advisers to royal authorities. The Jesuits also stood out among the other religious orders for their independence; the close relationship they often enjoyed with au…
Why Have You Come Here? The Jesuits and the First Evangelization of Native America
Nicholas P. Cushner is one of a long line of Jesuits who have produced histories of the Order and in particular of the Jesuit missions in America. He is best known for his economic histories of the Jesuit missions in Peru, Ecuador, and Argentina. In these empirical studies Cushner investigates the links between Jesuit missions and larger economic developments and patterns. The studies are notable for their unbiased approach in which the author do…
Mestizajes tecnológicos y cambios culturales en México
This book resulted from a seminar on technological mestizaje that took place in 1998 and 1999 in Mexico City at the Centro de Investigiones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social (CIESAS). Scholars from a variety of disciplines (history, anthropology, archaeology, and sociology) were invited to reflect on the theme of mestizaje in colonial Mexico as it especially relates to changes in technology. The strength of this book is that many of th…
Lost Shores, Forgotten Peoples
This book is a collection of Spanish documents in translation, mostly from the seventeenth century, regarding the Spanish conquest of the southeast Maya lowlands, and in particular the Manchu Chol people. Geographically, this region comprises the drainage of the Usumacintla River in northern Guatemala and southern Belize, and, according to Feldman, it is, historiographically, a neglected area—a condition he hopes to rectify with this volume. The …
Defiance and Deference in Mexico's Colonial North
Ordinarily, a first book appears at the beginning of an academic career, but Susan Deeds’s is the culmination of the many years of research and publication on the ethnohistory of northern Mexico. It is not surprising, therefore, that those who know her work will find many familiar themes. She expands on previous research to draw conclusions about how five indigenous peoples of present-day Sinaloa, Durango, and Chihuahua responded to different asp…
Knight without Armor
Michoacán and Eden
In this short volume, attractively illustrated with drawings adapted from the Chronicles of Michoacán, Bernardino Verástique proposes to cover a wide territory: to recount the conquest and evangelization of the indigenous people of Michoacán, particularly the Purhépechas; to evaluate the career of Don Vasco de Quiroga, first bishop of Michoacán, for the purpose of resolving the contradictions surrounding him; and to evaluate the lasting value of …

Discovering the Chichimecas
The European practice of conceptualizing their enemies so that they could dispose of them in ways that were not in accord with their own Christian principles is well documented. In the Americas, this began with Columbus's designation of certain Indians as man-eaters and was continued by those Spanish who also wished to enslave the natives or eliminate them altogether. The word “cannibal” was invented to describe such people, and the Spanish were …
