Ruiz Montoya En Indias (1608-1652), by Francisco Jarque, chronicles the life and work of Ruiz Montoya, a significant Jesuit missionary in South America during the 17th century. This biography explores Montoya's experiences and contributions within the context of Spanish colonial history, shedding light on his interactions with indigenous populations and his role in the religious landscape of the time. The book provides valuable insights into the challenges and complexities faced by missionaries operating in the New World, and examines the cultural exchanges that occurred during this transformative period. Jarque's work offers a detailed portrait of a key historical figure whose efforts helped shape the religious and cultural identity of the region.
