On June 25, 1767, Spanish royal officials began to implement the order of King Carlos III to expel the members of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) from all Spanish territories. At the time of the expulsion there were some 2,400 Jesuits in Spanish America. They played an important role in urban centers as educators and in the spiritual lives of city-folk, and they staffed frontier missions. The King ordered that the Jesuits be exiled in the Papal States (modern Italy), but ironically the majority of the Jesuits in the Americas were born in the Americas. This study focuses on the Jesuit Province of New Spain (Mexico, Cuba, Guatemala) at the time of the expulsion, and offers a detailed analysis of the organization and activities of the Jesuits, their identity through a prosogrographic study, and architectural patrimony. This study will be of interest to specialists in colonial Latin American history, architecture, and Jesuit studies, and general readers.

Robert Jackson received his doctorate with a specialization in Latin American history in 1988 from the University of California, Berkeley, USA, where he studied with Tulio Halperin-Donghi. He is the author/co-author of 29 books, and more than 120 articles and book chapters. His most recent book is Robert H. Jackson, and Leonardo Meraz Quintana, Urban Plan, Architecture, and the Geography of the Sacred in Colonial Morelos (2024). Jackson is an independent scholar living in Mexico City.
