Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Franciscans were the first friars to establish themselves in Cuban territory, subsequently creating the most extensive network of convents on the island. These friars were part of an attempt to bring faith to the native peoples of the New World. Author Arelis Cabrera uses primary sources to assess the role played by the Franciscans in Cuba's colonial past.
