Reviews
"Pious Imperialism is an innovative analysis that exposes and analyzes the vicissitudes of life in the Spanish and Catholic empire. With this text Conover introduces an important element, the analysis of liturgical practice and history, into the conversations that continually interpret and reevaluate the relationship between church and empire and the ways in which this relationship could be mobilized or invoked to the benefit or detriment of the prevailing sociopolitical contexts."--Daniel E. Nourry Burgos, Reading Religion, "An important scholarly monograph devoted to Saint Philip of Jesus, the first creole beatified in the New World."--Pierre Ragon, Hispanic American Historical Review, "In following this saint and his cult over several centuries and political regimes, Conover has made a welcome contribution to the scholarship on the intersection of religion and power in the Spanish empire."--Jodi Bilinkoff, Church History, "The new prism through which Conover views Mexican history makes this volume an important source for graduate students and for established scholars. . . . Highly recommended." -- Choice

Synopsis
This book analyzes Spanish rule and Catholic practice from the consolidation of Spanish control in the Americas in the sixteenth century to the loss of these colonies in the nineteenth century by following the life and afterlife of an accidental martyr, San Felipe de J sus. Using Mexico City-native San Felipe as the central figure, Conover tracks the global aspirations of imperial Spain in places such as Japan and Rome without losing sight of the local forces affecting Catholicism. He demonstrates the ways Spanish religious attitudes motivated territorial expansion and transformed Catholic worship. Using Mexico City as an example, Conover also shows that the cult of saints continually refreshed the spiritual authority of the Spanish monarch and the message of loyalty of colonial peoples to a devout king. Such a political message in worship, Conover concludes, proved contentious in independent Mexico, thus setting the stage for the momentous conflicts of the nineteenth century in Latin American religious history., This book analyzes Spanish rule and Catholic practice from the consolidation of Spanish control in the Americas in the sixteenth century to the loss of these colonies in the nineteenth century by following the life and afterlife of an accidental martyr, San Felipe de Jésus.

- u***u (728)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseCarefully packaged book- arrived wrapped in plastic bag and shipped in cardboard box. As a frequent book buyer I appreciate this as so many books are just crammed into a plastic shopping bag and sent on their way- sometimes always hanging out of the bag. I know that Midtown Book Seller books will arrive as described. Shipped promptly. I’d highly recommend them as a seller.

- c***i (102)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook was in very good condition as described in the listing. It looked almost new, in fact, but the pages did have some yellowing around the edges, a sign of its age. The seller did an excellent job of wrapping and packing the book for shipment, which I greatly appreciate! He has earned his 100% feedback rating, I'd say. I'm extremely pleased with the seller and this transaction. Thank you!
