Exploring early modern Christian missions, this book examines Jesuit activities in Guam and the Marianas, highlighting their role as a site for cross-cultural encounters rather than mere extensions of imperialism. It delves into the complex transoceanic connections with New Spain and the Philippines, while also emphasizing the resilience of Chamorro culture. The study reveals how the Chamorros adapted to external influences, shaping new identities amidst the challenges posed by missionization.
