Tongues of Fire: Language and Evangelization in Colonial Mexico
Farriss, Nancy (Annenberg Professor of History Emerita, Annenberg Professor of History Emerita, University of Pennsylvania)
Tongues of Fire investigates the role played by language and translation in the creation of Mexican Christianity during the first centuries of colonial rule. Nancy Farriss analyzes how native elites, acting as translators and parish administrators, served to make evangelization an indigenous enterprise, and the new Mexican church an indigenous one.
