Resurrecting the Past
Resurrecting the Past: The California Mission Myth | Michelle M. Lorimer
1 post | 1 to read
This original, eye-opening and thought provoking book traces the marginalization of California Indians within the California mission mythology and critiques the romanticized-narrative still presented today at many California mission sites as well as the manner by which the history of the missions is widely taught in Californias schools. Through case studies of topics including Native resistance, labor, death and disease, this work demonstrates the active roles Native people played in the development of California history alongside the fictionalized history that their mission experiences have been presented as.

This looks like a much more realistic account of the California Missions.
