This book analyses one aspect of the Bourbon reforms, which was the efforts to transform frontier missions, to make the missions more cost-effective, and to accelerate the integration of indigenous peoples in northern Mexico to European cultural norms. In some instances, the Crown had funded missions for more than a century, but with minimal results. The book attempts to show how the mission programs changed, and what the consequences – especially demographic – were for the indigenous peoples brought to live on the missions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeneral Series Editor’s Preface  Initial Thoughts  List of Illustrations and Tables    1 Introduction   1\tSetting the Stage for the Bourbon Reforms under Carlos III    1.1\tDefining Mission Reform    1.2\tLaying Out the Interpretation    Part 1: From Hapsburg to Bourbon Missions    2 Preliminaries   1\tThe Organization of Evangelization in Cholula   2\tThe Organization of the Evangelization of the Province of Huaxtepec   3\tFranciscan Reform: The Apostolic Colleges   4\tSecularization of Rural Doctrinas   5\tThe Jesuits in Spanish America   6\tConclusions    3 The Sierra Gorda and Texas Missions   1\tThe Missions of Coahuila-Texas   2\tThe Failure of Congregation on the Texas Gulf Coast   3\tConclusions    4 The Bourbon Reforms and the Ex-Jesuit Missions of Baja California and Northern Sonora   1\tThe Proverbial Bull in the China Shop: The Franciscans and the Reorganization of the Baja California Missions   2\tReform of the Ex-Jesuit Missions of Northern Sonora   3\tConclusions    Part 2: Organizing the New California Missions, 1769–1834 Introduction to Part 2    5 The Jesuit Missions among the Guaraní   1\tTreaty Making, Conflict, and Guaraní Diaspora   2\tThe Post-Jesuit Expulsion Reform of the Guaraní Missions   3\tGuaraní Mission Demographic Patterns   4\tMortality Crises, 1733–1740   5\tDemographic Patterns on Los Santos Reyes Yapeyú Mission   6\tDemographic Patterns on San Lorenzo Mission   7\tGender and Age Structure of the Mission Populations   8\tConclusions    6 Congregation: The Formation of the California Mission Communities   1\tCongregation on the San Francisco Bay Area Missions   2\tCongregation on the Central Coast Region Missions   3\tConclusions    7 The Mission Urban Plan, Social Control, and Indigenous Resistance   1\tThe Mission Urban Plan and Social Control on the Chumash Missions   2\tUrban Plan on the San Francisco Bay Region Missions   3\tThe Urban Plan on the Central Coast Missions   4\tSocial Control and Resistance   5\tConclusions    8 Demographic Patterns on the Missions   1\tDemographic Patterns on the Chumash Missions   2\tDemographic Patterns on the San Francisco Bay Region Missions   3\tDemographic Patterns on the Central Coast Region Missions   4\tConclusions    9 An Alternative Pattern of Development: San Diego and San Luis Rey Missions   1\tThe Ideal of Congregation   2\tLater Patterns of Development on San Diego Mission, 1810–1834   3\tConclusions    10 Non-indigenous Settlers in California   1\tThe Supply of the Presidios   2\tDemographic Patterns of the Soldier-Settler Populations   3\tThe Demographic Profile of the Villa de Branciforte   4 Conclusion    11 Conclusions    Epilogue: Saint or Sinner?
