Klappentext zu „French Missionaries in Acadia/Nova Scotia, 1654-1755 “
This book investigates and assesses how and to what extent the French Catholic missionaries carried out their evangelical activity amid the natives of Acadia/Nova Scotia from the mid-seventeenth century until 1755, the year of the Great Deportation of the Acadians. It provides a new understanding of the role played by the French missionaries in the most peripheral and less populated area of Canada during the colonial period. The decision to focus on this period is dictated by the need to investigate how and to which extent the French missionaries sought to carry out their activity within a contested territory which was exposed to the pressures coming out of both French and British imperial interests.

Pressezitat
"Matteo Binasco's French Missionaries in Acadia/Nova Scotia, 1654-1755: On a Risky Edge is a much-needed, comprehensive, English-language overview of French missionary endeavour ... . The book also offers a detailed account of the heated interplay between the Recollets, the Diocese of Quebec, and other religious congregations ... . Each chapter is supported by hundreds of endnotes, which is a testimony to the historical master detective at work here." (Mark G. McGowan, Church History, Vol. 92 (3), September, 2023)
