It comprises five chapters along with an introduction and an epilogue. The historical focus is on the Jesuits' institutional developments placed in front of a background of American religious, cultural, and social change. A thread of investigation running through the entire book is into the relationship of Jesuit activities in America to those in Europe, and then by the twentieth century (as US Jesuits are increasingly assigned to "foreign missions") to those around the globe, especially Latin America. The five chapters are organized chronologically and are divided as follows: the colonial period (mid-sixteenth to mid-eighteenth century), the suppression and restoration (late eighteenth/early nineteenth century), the nineteenth century, the early twentieth century, the late twentieth century. An epilogue offers reflections on the present and future in light of the past" |
