- catalog abstract ""The Millennial New World offers a comprehensive introduction to millennial thought and action in Latin America. The book opens by defining millennialism in its broadest sense, encompassing apocalypticism, messianism, and utopia. The subsequent chapters present an extraordinarily wide range of colonial and modern cases as they pursue millennial themes throughout Latin American history. Spanish messianic imperialism and perceptions of the New World as Eden and New Jerusalem provide the European precedents. Extensive treatment of nativist and syncretic millennialism includes the Land-without-Evil, the Taqui Onqoy resistance, the Tzeltal Rebellion, the Caste War of the Yucatan, and the myths of Inkarri and Quetzalcoatl, among many other cases."--Jacket.".
