Abstract

This paper presents Velandia's analysis on the role that the use of sacred images had in the conversion of inhabitants throughout the Spanish Americas during the early modern period. By studying diverse evangelisation examples, which range from African slaves arriving to Cartagena; Mayas, and Jews in New Spain, as well as Muiscas in New Granada, the author analyses the control of indigenous images exercised by European missionaries to achieve a cultural domination.
