Abstract

The I vitae i of Xavier that circulated in Jesuit communities taught their readers how to navigate these complex issues and what emotions were appropriate for Jesuit missionaries I en route i to their destinations. Three sets of questions lie at the heart of this wonderful new study of Jesuit missionary work in the Mariana islands: why did the Society of Jesus turn to this far-flung archipelago in the Pacific and what did it achieve there? Through analyses of missionary accounts and I vitae i , Ulrike Strasser paints a fascinating portrait of how a type of missionary manhood shaped seventeenth-century Jesuit evangelizing and sometimes clashed with indigenous gender hierarchies.
