Mission of Sorrows
The Mission of Guevavi on the Santa Cruz River in what is now southern Arizona served as a focal point of Jesuit missionary endeavor among the Pima Indians on New Spain's far northwestern frontier. For three-quarters of a century, from the first visit by the renowned Eusebio Francisco Kino in 1691 until the Jesuit Expulsion in 1767, the difficult process of replacing one culture with another—the heart of the Spanish mission system—went on at Guevavi. Yet all but the initial years presided over by Father Kino have been forgotten. Drawing upon archival materials in Mexico, Spain, and the United States—including accounts by the missionaries themselves and the surviving pages of the Guevav...

Restauración de la compañía de Jesús bicentenario (1814-2014) (Xipe totek 92)
El trabajo busca hacer presente a Jorge Manzano en rasgos señalados de su rica personalidad para rendir homenaje a su modo de ser filósofo, maestro, amigo y persona. Se destacan su espíritu de combate en defensa de la vida y la dignidad humana, su sencillez, su espíritu socrático y la amplitud de su pensamiento. Asimismo se ponen de relieve su apertura al diálogo en distintos órdenes de la vida y de la cultura, así como la centralidad del amor cristiano en su vida como buscador y testigo de la verdad.
Missions Begin with Blood
Winner, 2022 Frank S. and Elizabeth D. Brewer Prize While the idea that successful missions needed Indigenous revolts and missionary deaths seems counterintuitive, this book illustrates how it became a central logic of frontier colonization in Spanish North America. Missions Begin with Blood argues that martyrdom acted as a ceremony of possession that helped Jesuits understand violence, disease, and death as ways that God inevitably worked to advance Christendom. Whether petitioning superiors for support, preparing to extirpate Native “idolatries,” or protecting their conversions from critics, Jesuits found power in their persecution and victory in their victimization. This book correlates these tales of sacrifice to deep genealogies of redemptive death in Catholic discourse and explains how martyrological idioms worked to rationalize early modern colonialism. Specifically, missionaries invoked an agricultural metaphor that reconfigured suffering into seed that, when watered by sweat and blood, would one day bring a rich harvest of Indigenous Christianity.
Estudios en honor a Rafael Landívar, S. J.
La publicación forma parte de la Monumenta Landivariana, serie mayor, cuyo objetivo es ofrecer estudios generales y especializados en torno a la obra poético-literaria de Rafael Landívar. Autores de diversos centros académicos y de investigación se unen para analizar, desde perspectivas diferenciadas la obra de Landívar, así como el contexto histórico y político. El lector podrá conocer diálogos interdisciplinares, los cuales nacen desde los estudios históricos, literarios, sociológicos y teológicos; hasta los análisis procurados por los estudios lingüísticos, filológicos y la crítica genética. Surge una lectura desde la formación jesuita que forma parte de la concepción landivariana; paralelo a la formación de la Compañía de Jesús y los diálogos con sus compañeros de exilio. El libro muestra una Rusticatio Mexicana viva, analizada en planos que la sitúa en la americanidad de su tiempo y el actual.
