By tracking the prose of spiritual conquest with the history of the mission in official documents, religious correspondence, and public controversies, the author shows how, contrary to the general consensus in Philippine historiography, the literature and pastoral politics of spiritual conquest reinforced the frontier character of the religious provinces outside Manila in the Americas as well as the Philippines, by supplanting the (absence of) law in the name of supplementing or completing it. This frontier character accounts for the modern reinvention of native custom as well as the birth of literature and theater in the Tagalog vernacular. 606 $aPhilippine literature (Spanish) 615 0$aPhilippine literature (Spanish) 676 $a959.902 700 $aBlanco$b John$01824382 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968662903321 996 $aCounter-Hispanization in the Colonial Philippines: Literature, Law, Religion, and Native Custom$94391521 997 $aUNINA
