Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the phenomenon of the Jesuits in Brazil in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Thomas de Souza, Brazilâs first appointed Governor General, was accompanied by six Jesuit priests in 1549. The Jesuits rapidly became influential in the colonisation process. Their legacy in Brazil remains controversial even today. The priests created schools, established missions, and learned native languages in order to spread Catholicism and Portuguese culture, but they have been criticized for sanctioning the use of forced labour and the creation of a rigidly hierarchical society. The author meticulously analyses the works of the period, both by the Jesuits and their contemporaries, to give a balanced perspective on the roles they played. The book offers an in-depth insight into the motivations of the Jesuits and the impact of their religious and political doctrines and sheds light on one of the most enduring and controversial Christian missionary endeavours.
