In the sixty years following the Spanish conquest, indigenous communities 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 jurisdictions, resources, and people. Competing communities
adapted the mission 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 influences reverberating on Spanish frontiers from New Mexico
to Mindanao
