The Mexican Mission
In the sixty years following the Spanish conquest, indigenous commu-
nities in central Mexico suffered the equivalent of three Black Deaths, a
demographic catastrophe that prompted them to rebuild under the aegis
of Spanish missions. Where previous histories have framed this process
as an epochal spiritual conversion,
The Mexican Mission
widens the
lens to examine its political and economic history, revealing a worldly
enterprise that both remade and colonized Mesoamerica. The mission
exerted immense temporal power in struggles over indigenous jurisdic-
tions, resources, and people. Competing communities adapted the mis-
sion to their own designs; most notably, they drafted labor to raise
ostentatious monastery complexes in the midst of mass death. While the
mission fostered indigenous recovery, it also grounded Spanish imperial
authority in the legitimacy of local native rule. The Mexican mission
became one of the most extensive in early modern history, with influ-
ences reverberating on Spanish frontiers from New Mexico to
Mindanao.
