Harvest of Souls: The Jesuit Missions and Colonialism in North America, 1632-1650

Carole Blackburn,Carole Blackburn

Argues that the Jesuits used language, imagery, and forms of knowledge to legitimize relations of inequality with the Huron and Montagnais In 1632 Jesuit missionary Paul Le Jeune, newly arrived at the fort of Quebec, wrote the first of the Relations to his superior in Paris, initiating a series of biannual mission reports that came to be known as the Jesuit Relations. In Harvest of Souls Carole Blackburn presents a contemporary interpretation of the 1632-1650 Relations, arguing that they are colonizing texts in which the Jesuits use language, imagery, and forms of knowledge to legitimize relations of inequality with the Huron and Montagnais.
