Description: "Using diverse and controversial eyewitness accounts, as well as international secondary sources, author examines positive and negative influences affecting indigenous peoples of the 'Jesuit tate.' Concludes that, although eurocentric and paternalistic, the 'Jesuit state' proved to be a fascinating religious and socioeconomic experiment that provided a more peaceful environment than was available to indigenous peoples elsewhere in North or South America during the colonial period and afterwards"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
