Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the spiritual conquest of California by Spanish missionary priests. Providing a comprehensive account of the missionaries' methods and the unique civil and religious system that resulted, the author places the book's subject within the broader context of European colonization and imperialism. Delving into the complex relationship between the missionaries and the native inhabitants, the author explores the profound impact of the mission system on both parties, shedding light on the often paradoxical nature of religious conversion and cultural assimilation.
