Mohawk Saint: Catherine Tekakwitha and the Jesuits
"The finest scholarly treatment to date of Catherine (Kateri) Tekakwitha."--Lisa Poirier,Church History"The finest scholarly treatment to date of Catherine (Kateri) Tekakwitha.... No university library should be without it. It is sufficiently accessible for undergraduates, and sufficiently sophisticated for specialists."--Lisa Poirer,Church History"Greer masterfully sheds light on everything he writes about."--CHOICE"Mohawk Saintis quite simply the best book I have read on the momentous and vexed encounter of Europeans and Native Americans in the Early Modern world. A must-read for anyone interested in New France or colonial Native Americans, it provides an intimate and imaginative portrait of both the Mohawk Catherine and the French missionaries with whom she interacted in the seventeenth-century Praying Iroquois community of Kahnawake."--H-Net"In rescuing the "lily of the Mohawks" form her hagiographers, Allan Greer has produced an utterly fascinating volume."--Michael Walsh
