    This mantra would initially lead a small band of six Jesuits to the shores of Salvador on the Bay of All Saints in 1549 alongside the first Portuguese Governor of Brazil. In the Colonial Latin America: A Documentary History, the focus of Chapter 13 is a series of letters that documents the struggles that the Jesuits faced in converting Tupi Indians to Catholicism. Also the chapter highlights the controversy of unorthodox practices that are used for conversion in Colonial Latin America, and the questionable means used to sustain a Jesuit Society and Catholic infrastructures, both physically and spiritually,. From the surface controversy can be attributed to the Jesuits pushing against the Eurocentric ideas of what conversion practices should be like in Colonial Latin America in comparison to conversion practices on the Iberian Peninsula. However, the Jesuits were not opposing the way that the Catholic Church functioned on the Iberian Peninsula, instead the Jesuits were having to adapt by necessity to the environment, culture and practices in Colonial Latin America and specifically in…

    It is one of the best anthropological accounts of this region. The style is gripping with detailed statement of experiences, of the people of African origin in the former colonies of Spain and Portugal and the stamp of their influence on these parts on all walks of life – society, economics and culture. While the history of the Blacks is well researched and ably presented in USA, it is not so with Latin America where there is still an air of mystery and vacuum. It is ironical that it should be so considering the fact that it has the highest number of Africans residing here outside the African continent (Fagundes 68-78).…
