Missions and Missionaries in the Americas:A Special Teaching and Research Collection of The Americas

Christopher Woolley

Abstract: For more than 70 years,The Americas, a publication of the Academy of American Franciscan History, has been a leading forum for scholars studying the history of Spanish America's colonial missions. As the articles collected from the journal for this special issue show, the general trend has been to move beyond the hagiographic treatment of missionaries and towards a more complex understanding of the historical roles played by the colonial missions in rural life.

Afro-Latin America:A Special Teaching and Research Collection ofThe Americas

In his introduction to a special issue of The Americas in 2006, Ben Vinson III noted how easily the history of Latin America had been dissociated from that of the African Diaspora. “When looking at the broad trajectory of historical writings on Latin America outside of the Caribbean and Brazil, it has long been possible to do Latin American history without referencing blackness or the African Diaspora.” A decade later, it is safe to say that the tables have turned. What were before scattered efforts to recognize black individuals' contributions to the history, culture, economy, and political developments of the region as a whole have evolved into a growing field meriting its own name: Afro-Latin American Studies. Born of the cross-pollination of scholarly debates that were previously disparate, the field of Afro-Latin American Studies has grown and developed in response to the rise of Black Studies and in connection to new realities in countries where Afro-descendants have pushed for social and economic equality.

Este dossier documenta las tendencias recientes de historia de las misiones con nuevos estudios de caso. Veintitrés investigadores respondieron a nuestra convocatoria con la presentación de manuscritos, diez de los cuales fueron seleccionados para su publicación en este monográfico. De acuerdo con la convocatoria, los ensayos se centran en los siglos XIX y XX, haciendo hincapié en el último tercio del siglo XIX y la primera mitad del XX, en consonancia con la evolución expuesta. Sin embargo, los artículos sobre protestantismo amplían el periodo a gran parte del siglo XX. En cuanto a la localización geográfica, la atención de los manuscritos recibidos se centró —sorprendentemente para nosotros— de manera predominante en Sudamérica, pese a que la convocatoria incluía Mesoamérica y el Caribe. Aparte de Colombia, donde una nueva generación se ha propuesto en la última década investigar de forma consecuente la historia de las regiones fronterizas de este diverso país, escogimos manuscritos sobre y procedentes de Argentina, Brasil y Chile.Si se observan los temas, enfoques y métodos adoptados en las contribuciones presentadas a continuación, destacan ciertas características. Los manuscritos seleccionados para este dossier se centran claramente en la expansión estatal hacia zonas fronterizas, con una división de funciones entre el Estado y las misiones. Los intereses respectivos eran diferentes, pero el Estado y las misiones compartían la idea de que perseguían un proyecto común de “colonización”, “civilización” y “educación”.
