In recent years scholars have turned their attention to the rich
experience of the Jesuits in France and Spain's American colonies.
That attention has brought a flow of new editions and translations
of Jesuit accounts of the Americas; it is now time for a study that
examines the full range of that work in a comparative perspective.
Jesuit Accounts of the Colonial Americas offers the first
comprehensive examination of such writings and the role they played
in solidifying images of the Americas. The collection also provides
a much-needed re-examination of the work of the Jesuits in relation
to Enlightenment ideals and the modern social sciences and
humanities - two systems of thought that have in the past appeared
radically opposed, but which are brought together here under the
rubric of modern ethnographic knowledge. Linking Jesuit texts, the
rhetorical tradition, and the newly emerging anthropology of the
Enlightenment, this collection traverses the vast expanses of Old
and New World France and Spain in fascinating new ways.
