J. 1972 iii PREFACE In the extensive literature about the missions of northwestern New Spain very little attention has been paid to the internal organiza­ tion and operation of the mission system. As thorough as the scholar­ ship of the history of these missions has been, the lack of a study, such as presented in this dissertation, has led many readers of history into the false presumption that missionaries were nearly free agents on the frontier. It is the purpose of this dissertation to focus on cer­ tain aspects of the mission system to show the complexity of the rules by which they operated, the pragmatism that characterized their method, and the protective independence they cherished. This study does not revise the history of the missions; it provides a new back­ ground against which Spanish pioneers and missionaries can be reexamined. This work began in 1968 as a partial background for historical investigations relevant to the introduction of the cause for beatification of Father Eusebio Francisco Kino, S. J. No amount of historical evidence can bear any weight without a full understanding of the man in the context of his times. The reconstruction of that context depends integrally on the kind of historical data and analysis presented here. iv Knowing that future graduate studies would involve research in the major archives of Spain, I requested permission to spend the final year of my theological studies in the Society of Jesus in that country. With the kind assistance of Father Ernest J. Burr us, S .J., of the Jesuit Historical Institute of Rome, I was introduced to the Archive Historico Nacional (Madrid), the research collections at Razon y Fe, and the Archive General de Indias (Sevilla) in which places I spent several weeks acquainting myself with the material and research tech­ niques . Then, through the courtesy of the Graduate College of The University of Arizona, I was awarded a Graduate Fellowship in 1970 that made it possible for me to return to Europe and gather the mate­ rial for this dissertation. In the summer of 1970, I worked in Mexico City at the Archive General de la Nacidn and the Archive Historico de Hacienda. The papers in the Archive Historico de Hacienda have rarely been consulted because the archive was formerly inaccessible and the documents in disarray. This condition has been corrected, but the lack of indexing made it necessary to search page by page through some eighty-six legajos often over 1000 pages long. The majority of these papers once constituted the private archives of the Procurator of the Jesuit. Province of New Spain. All the original documentation for this study was microfilmed through the courtesy of the Vatican Film Library, Pius XII Memorial vi Library, St. Louis University. Through the generosity of the Par km an Foundation, a microfilm reader-printer was made available that cut research time over four times. Struggling through the pale­ ography of three centuries of Spanish, one wonders if the amassing of data made possible by modern technology is a blessing or not. Cer­ tainly without it, this study would never have been possible. This dissertation would not have been possible without the quiet, patient guidance of Professor Russell C. Ewing. A scholar of the Spanish Borderlands and a student of Professor Herbert E. Bolton, Dr. Ewing manifested an understanding of the research problems as few others could. In days when some graduate students protest that their research belongs to their advisors, it was stimulating to work under Dr. Ewing because he lived up to a dictum of Bolton that he often repeated: "I've broken the ground—now you do the building. " This dissertation is finished. If, through it, scholarship has grown, it is the scholars who have helped me who made it possible. If its scholarship is wanting, I have no one to blame but myself.

The Jesuit mission system in northwestern New Spain was not conceived or planned in advance. The original itinerant mission techniques, developed through the colleges in the central plateau of Mexico, did not suit the situation on the western coastal plain. As the number of Jesuit missions and missionaries increased in Sinaloa and the Sierra Occidental, the mission system grew more complex in itself as well as in its relations with the civil and episcopal authorities. The first attempt at codification of mission rules was done by Father Rodrigo Cabredo, only recently arrived in Mexico. The simple rules emphasized the precautions that missionaries were to take in safeguarding their spiritual and religious lives. A half century later, in 1662, a new code was promulgated by Father Hernando de Cabrero. These lengthy and minute rules touched almost every phase of a missionary's life. Cabrero1 s Code remained in effect until the expul­ sion of the Society of Jesus from the Spanish empire in 1767. It was, v iii ix however, substantially modified by the issuance of instructions to the newly created office of Visitor General in 1723. Throughout the history of the Jesuit missions in northwestern New Spain no manual of instructions was ever issued to direct the method of evangelization. The techniques employed were devised in the field and refined by the missionaries themselves at semi-annual juntas. Both Andres Perez de Ribas and Eusebio Francisco Kino, the only Fathers known to have left any extant writings on methodology, stress the importance of personal character and intimate contact with the natives as the primary needs of a successful missionary. Prob­ ably the most effective means the missionaries possessed was their - command of the native languages. Jesuits were not even permitted to be ordained until they had proven proficiency in the Mexican language. One of the key Sonoran missions was San Jose de Matape. In 1670 it was officially declared a colegio incoado, which did not imply it was on the verge of becoming an educational institution. The title was given to the mission so that the Jesuit community at Matape could legally, both

B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

    Edited by Albert S. Kim and Hyeon-Ju Kim Ocean Thermal(OTEC) Energy - Past,Conversion Present, and Progress The 21st century is characterized as an era of natural resource depletion, and humanity is faced with several threats due to the lack of food, energy, and water. Climate change Ocean Thermal Energy and sea-level rise are at unprecedented levels, being phenomena that make predicting the future of ocean resources more complicated. Oceans contain a limitless amount Conversion (OTEC) of water with small (but finite) temperature differences from their surfaces to their Past, Present, and Progress floors. To advance the utilization of ocean resources, this book readdresses the past achievements, present developments, and future progress of ocean thermal energy, from basic sciences to sociology and cultural aspects.
