Abstract

AbstractThis chapter posits the aim of this volume within the current historiographical debate on the religious history of Acadia/Nova Scotia during the early modern period. It reviews the current historiography by demonstrating how this area has remained at the margins of the continuous evolving mass of studies on the Catholic missions in New France. It stresses the necessity to revaluate and reassess the activity and roles played by the Catholic missionaries vis-à-vis the broader context of the arrival and development of Catholicism in New France and of the Anglo-French imperial struggles over the Atlantic coast of North America.
