Arizona has always been a border territory, with many different cultures living in the area. The late 17th and 18thcenturies witnessed an influx of foreigners in the arrival of the Jesuit missionaries. By ca. 1830, the number of missionaries of German origin had exploded, and they dominated the entire province in religious and missionary activities. Dr. Albrecht Classen will take us back to that time to discuss what motivated those missionaries, what they achieved, and why they were eventually expelled (maybe because they had been too successful for the Spaniards?).
