Frontiers of evangelization : Indians in the Sierra Gorda and Chiquitos missions
\"Comparing the Franciscan missionary region of Sierra Gorda (Mexico) with the Jesuit missions of Chiquitos (Bolivia), Jackson argues that the two Catholic orders differed more in the organization of their missions and their role in the larger colonial system than in their methods of evangelization. The true point of difference between the two areas was whether or not their native groups were sedentary, as in the case of the Guaraní of Chiquitos, or non-sedentary, as were the Pames and Jonaces of the Sierra Gorda. Drawing upon his decades of archival research, Jackson concludes that non-sedentary populations were more prone to demographic collapse once they were brought into the mission system, whereas sedentary groups experienced more robust growth and were better able to weather mortality brought by disease or natural disaster\"--Provided by publisher.

The Jesuits in Spanish America In 1767
On June 25, 1767, royal officials in all Spanish territories, including the Americas, began the process of expelling the members of the Society of Jesus.

Classical and modern thought on international relations : from anarchy to cosmopolis
In the tradition of the English School of International Relations theory, this project from Robert Jackson seeks to show how continuities in international politics outweigh the changes. The author demonstrates how the world is neither one of anarchy, as put forward by realists, nor is it a fully cosmopolitan order, as argued by those on the other side of the theoretical spectrum. Instead, it is a world of states who acknowledge a set of moral constraints that exists between them.

Visualizing the Miraculous, Visualizing the Sacred
French historian Robert Ricard postulated a quick and facile evangelization of the native populations of central Mexico. However, evidence shows that native peoples incorporated Catholicism into their religious beliefs on their own terms, and continued to make sacrifices to their traditional deities. In particular the deities of rain (Tlaloc and Dzahui) and the fertility of the soil (Xipe Totec) continued to be important following the conquest and the beginning of the so-called spiritual conquest. This study examines visual evidence of the persistence of traditional religious practices, including embedded pre-hispanic stones placed in churches and convents, and pre-hispanic iconography in what ostensibly were Christian murals.
