“An exciting new view of Indian neophytes and material changes in the California missions. . . . Hackel delves into the complexities and ironies of oppression in colonial California: how Indians found room for themselves and their ways within the missions, even as they became lethal homes. . . . Quite an achievement.”
--William B. Taylor
“Steven Hackel reminds us that the colonial history of North America did not begin in 1607 or end in 1776, nor was it limited to the Atlantic seaboard. This richly detailed study addresses major themes in the American experience, including religion, historical demography, and sexuality, and forcefully inserts the history of Spanish colonial America into the larger historical world of early America.”
--Sylvia Frey
“An excellent book on Indian-white relations, looking specifically at mission life, the development of Indian political authorities, the organization of work, conflicts between the Franciscans and royal officials over Indian life and labor, and ultimately the secularization of the California missions. Clearly Hackel has done massive archival research, and the rich and dense results are evident on every page.”
