Exporting the Catholic Reformation: Local Religion in Early-Colonial Mexico: Cultures, Beliefs and Traditions: Medieval and Early Modern Peoples, cartea 2
Autor Meggeden Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iun 1996
It examines the modes by which Spanish mendicant priests translated norms, standards and mores enforced by the Tridentine dogma into the far-removed contexts of the New World. Using a rich variety of both Spanish and Maya colonial sources it closely examines Dominican preaching, local cosmology, and the state of faith in the area, as well as the changing ritual practices that emerged within the Indian parish during this era. Moreover, it vividly illustrates how the Indians adopted, transformed, or rebuffed the Catholic notions impressed upon them in the process of religious conversion.
The study is characterized by a profound sympathy with and respect for the local Maya and their resourcefulness in negotiating the cultural politics of colonial domination. Rather than seeing Christian evangelization as a wholly one-sided process, Megged emphasizes the active role of the Indian populations in reformulating alien doctrines and rituals within native frameworks.
The study also draws on a substantial body of secondary works on contemporary developments in Europe, and among its innovative tenets is that New World evangelization was not a wholly separate but an integral aspect of the Catholic Reformation that proceeded in an interactive fashion on both sides of the Atlantic.

Recenzii
'This book should naturally prove of greatest interest to historians of colonial Central America and historians of missions, for whom it should prove quite useful, […] even enlightening owing to its wealth of details, and its firm anchoring in primary sources. Historians of the Catholic Reformation, too, might want to dive into this rich collection…'
