Abstract

By drawing together primary and secondary sources produced by the Society of Jesus, this article seeks to reconstitute the homogeneous character of a vast missionary space in the Americas, ranging from Brazil to Canada, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Although distant from reality, an astonishingly stable image of the Indian emerges, developed strictly from the standpoint of political needs. Nevertheless, the persistence of this fiction bolstered a significant part of Jesuit missionary strategies and its influence extended well beyond the boundaries of the Society.
