Representing the first general treatment of the "Indian Mass" of
the North American Catholic missions, this volume draws on
historical descriptions as well as rare missionary manuscripts and
publications to trace the development of the distinctive American
Indian liturgies from the early hymn singing of the mid-1600s to
the adaptation of vernacular plainchant and polyphony. Weaving
together extensive primary source quotations, Salvucci overturns
popular misconceptions of missionaries as cultural imperialists,
showing instead how native congregations and scholarly priests
worked together in adapting the rich traditions of
Counter-Reformation Roman Catholicism to the linguistic and
cultural needs of the New World.
