ESPINOSA, Mariana. Evangelical missions, capitalism and state regulation among the Guarani of the Argentine Northwest  . Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2017, vol.10, n.2, pp.193-205. ISSN 1852-060X.

Abstract Evangelism among the Guarani of Argentina Northwest is a subject of study scarcely explored that would be important to vitalize given its geographical scope, historical depth and contemporary socio-cultural effects. This article broadens and complements historical and ethnographic knowledge about the expansion of evangelical missions of British and North American origin among the Guarani, putting in evidence three moments of the missionary undertakings and their relationships with the State and the agro-industrial companies, between 1890 and 1980. It is mainly the search for understanding and explanation of the current map of evangelical Guarani churches that leads us to propose a long-term study on the genesis and transformations of the socio-cultural system organized by the expansion of evangelism among indigenous communities in the region. The article combines historical sources, ethnographic observations and pertinent bibliographical references.
