In the past decades historians have interpreted early modern
Christian missions not simply as an adjunct to Western imperialism,
but a privileged field for cross-cultural encounters. Placing the
Jesuit missions into a global phenomenon that emphasizes economic
and cultural relations between Europe and the East, this book
analyzes the possibilities and limitations of the religious
conversion in the Micronesian islands of Guahan (or Guam) and the
Northern Marianas. Frontiers are not rigid spatial lines separating
culturally different groups of people, but rather active agents in
the transformation of cultures. By bringing this local dimension to
the fore, the book adheres to a process of missionary
"glocalization" which allowed Chamorros to enter the international
community as members of Spain's regional empire and the global
communion of the Roman Catholic Church.
