The Spiritual Conquest Accomplished by the Religious of the Society of Jesus in the Provinces of Paraguay, Paraná, Uruguay, and Tape
Available for the first time in English, THE SPIRITUAL CONQUEST is a moving first-hand account of the early days of one of history's most remarkable social experiments, the Paraguay Reductions. In the early 1600's, a handful of unarmed members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) penetrated the forests of present-day Paraguay & surrounding territories, & gathered tens of thousands of semi-nomadic Indians into large & prosperous towns.

It contains a selection of papers derived from the international conferences on missionary linguistics held in Hong Kong/Macau and Valladolid.

The Guaraní under Spanish Rule in the Río de la Plata
This ethnographic study is a revisionist view of the most significant and widely known mission system in Latin Americathat of the Jesuit missions to the Guaraní Indians, who inhabited the border regions of Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil. It traces in detail the process of Indian adaptation to Spanish colonialism from the sixteenth through the early nineteenth centuries. The book demonstrates conclusively that the Guaraní were as instrumental in determining their destinies as were the Catholic Church and Spanish bureaucrats. They were neither passive victims of Spanish colonialism nor innocent children of the jungle, but important actors who shaped fundamentally the history of the Río de la Plata region. The Guaraní responded to European contact according to the dynamics of their own culture, their individual interests and experiences, and the changing political, economic, and social realities of the late Bourbon period.
