description This article discusses the new evangelization and civilization strategy of the Franciscan missionaries for the indigenous peoples of the Peruvian Amazon at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. The text describes the historical context of the Peruvian Selva Central region as a frontier region, colonization area and a place marked by the violence of settlers and rubber entrepreneurs, which also involved child trafficking. It also details the situation of the Franciscan missions, the creation of boarding schools, and the inclusion, for the first time in history, of female missionaries in the educational and evangelizing processes led by the Catholic church in this region. Finally, it explains how the emphasis placed on boarding schools for indigenous children did not prevent the missions from collaborating on other tasks related to the colonization process promoted by the Peruvian State in the Amazon region.

El texto presenta el contexto histórico de la Selva Central peruana como zona de frontera, de colonización y de ejercicio de la violencia generada por colonos y empresarios caucheros que implicaba también el tráfico infantil. Asimismo, se detalla la situación de las misiones franciscanas en esta época, la creación de los internados y la incorporación, por primera vez, de misioneras mujeres a la tarea educativa y evangelizadora en esta región. Finalmente, se explica cómo el énfasis puesto en los internados y en la educación infantil no impidió la colaboración de las misiones en otras tareas relacionadas con el proceso de colonización promovida por el Estado peruano en la región amazónica.  Este artigo discute a mudança de estratégia dos missionários franciscanos em relação à evangelização e civilização dos povos indígenas da região amazônica peruana no final do século XIX e início do século XX. O texto apresenta o contexto histórico da Selva Central peruana como uma região de fronteira, uma zona de colonização e um espaço de violência perpetrada por colonos e barões da borracha, e que também envolveu o tráfico de crianças. O documento também detalha a situação das missões franciscanas na época, a criação de internatos e a incorporação, pela primeira vez, de missionárias no trabalho educativo e evangelizador nessa região. Finalmente, explica como a ênfase dada à educação infantil não impediu que as missões colaborassem em outras tarefas relacionadas ao processo de colonização promovido pelo Estado peruano na região amazônica.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú2025-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer reviewed articleArtículo evaluado por paresaRapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/anthropologica/article/view/31201Anthropologica del Departamento de Ciencias Sociales; Vol. 43 No. 55 (2025): Religion and Spiritualities in the Modern World/New Cultural Perspectives; 79-105Anthropologica; Vol. 43 Núm. 55 (2025): Religión y espiritualidades en el mundo moderno/Nuevas perspectivas culturales; 79-1052224-64280254-9212reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/anthropologica/article/view/31201/28384Derechos de autor 2025 Oscar Espinosahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/312012025-12-15T17:48:17Z
