Description
This text examines the social and cultural laboratories that were Jesuit missions in pre-colonial South India. By focusing on a dispute between two missionaries in Madurai in the beginning of the 17th century, it chronicles the first efforts at explaining the origin, structure and nature of local religious practices.
