W 2000 Roland H. Bainton Prize Winner for Art and Music History - Sixteenth Century Studies Conference
Gauvin Alexander Bailey is an associate Professor in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Clark University.
'This extremely impressive book immediately becomes the standard
work on the "diverse blend of traditions" in the art produced
around the world under the sponsorship and through the influence of
the Jesuit missions.'
*George Washington University*
'Gauvin Bailey, assistant professor of art history at Clark
University accomplishes something quite radical in Art on the
Jesuit Missions in Asia and Latin America. By resisting the
centuries-old impulse either to canonize or to demonize the
Jesuits, he manages to make a powerful and convincing assessment of
their cultural impact.'
*The National Post*
'This lively, well-researched book makes important contributions to
the emergence of a post-colonial understanding of an important set
of early modern cultural encounters. Every scholar of international
history will find in it new knowledge, surprising and beautiful
illustrations, fresh insights, and a great deal of stimulation and
even inspiration.'
*The International History Review*
