The article presents the main lines of thought contained in the magazine Misiones Dominicanas del Perú (MDP), which began to be published in 1919, exposed as a narrative sample -which also included profusely photography- of the late evangelization in the Amazon at the beginning of the 20th century. In our work converge, among others, the particular history of a religious order as old as Spanish colonialism, the regional situation of southern Peru at the beginning of the 20th century, the offensive of Peruvian Catholicism and the nature of the missions that oscillated between religious paternalism and the support for the expansion of the state and of people who thought of the jungle as a civilizing, economic frontier and in which the original man was absent. |
