Jackson, Robert H.
- Abstract
This article discusses demographic patterns on Jesuit missions in lowland South America (Chiquitos, Guaraní) and the Sierra Gorda region of Mexico, including the effects of epidemics of highly contagious diseases such as smallpox and measles. It examines the differences in the demographic profile of sedentary and non-sedentary indigenous groups, as well as other factors that determined demographic patterns. It concludes that there were meaningful differences in demographic patterns.
