The Protestant "discovery" of Latin America and the Caribbean (1870-1913)

Main Article Content

Abstract

In this article we propose to inquire about the mental representations that some of the main referents and leaders of the Missionary Boards in the United States had about Latin America and the Caribbean between the last quarter of the XIX century and the first decade of the XX century. Tracing these representations is relevant to discover the understanding of their role, the motivations of their task and the view that accompanied the passage from missionary disinterest in the "Abandoned Continent" to its invention and discovery as a land of opportunities.
