Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mission as a Frontier Institution in the Spanish-American Colonies
One of the marvels in the history of the modern world is the way in which that little Iberian nation, Spain, when most of her blood and treasure were absorbed in European wars, with a hand ful of men took possession of the Caribbean archipelago, and' by rapid yet steady advance spread her culture, her religion, her law, and her language over more than half of the two American continents, where they still are dominant and still are secure - in South America, Central America, and a large fraction of North America, for fifty million people in America to-day are tinged with Spanish blood, still speak the Spanish language, still worship at the altar set up by the Catholic kings, still live under laws essentially Spanish, and still possess a culture largely inherited from Spain.

The Mission as a Frontier Institution in the Spanish-American Colonies
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the little-discussed role of Spanish missions on the frontiers of the Americas. Often portrayed as solely religious outposts, this book argues that they were, in fact, integral in Spain's efforts to expand, hold, and civilize its vast American empire. The author, drawing from extensive research, suggests that the missions were politically and socially significant, as they provided religious instruction and community organization but also served as centers of governance and cultural exchange. By combining religious zeal with political necessity, the missions played an essential role in expanding the reach and influence of Spanish society and culture, leaving a lasting impact on the Americas.
