Description
Summary:This scholarly work explores the complex dynamics of indigenous beliefs and religious transformation in colonial Spanish America. Edited by Gerardo Lara Cisneros and Roberto Martínez González, the book delves into the historical and anthropological aspects of how indigenous communities in the Americas navigated the imposition of Christianity by European colonizers from the 16th to the 18th centuries. It examines the resistance of pre-Hispanic notions, the translation of Christian messages, and the eradication of native cults, highlighting the challenges faced by religious authorities in suppressing idolatries and fostering a new faith among indigenous populations. This collection of essays is aimed at academics, historians, and anthropologists interested in religious studies and Latin American history.
