Jesuit Accounts of the Colonial Americas: Intercultural Transfers, Intellectual Disputes, and Textualities. Edited by Marc André Bernier, Clorinda Donato and Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, in association with the UCLA Center for Seventeenthand Eighteenth-Century Studies and the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, 2014

Jesuit Accounts of the Colonial Americas includes papers in English and French based on the proceedings of two seminars held at the Center for Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century Studies of the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, University of California, and at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. The connecting link among all the works is the research into the influence of Jesuits on the Enlightenment and on ideas of modernity. Often interpreted as opponents of the Enlightenment and of the development of the humanities and social sciences, Jesuits and their activities have recently been rethought and examined from new perspectives. This book is a new contribution to the efforts of an interdisciplinary consideration of the affirmative role Jesuits played in the development of modern ethnographic and anthropological knowledge.
