California mission landscapes : race, memory, and the politics of heritage

Summary: "A history of California mission landscapes from their origins as colonial outposts to their reinvention as heritage sites though the late nineteenth and twentieth century. ... Elizabeth Kryder-Reid argues that landscape design has long recast the mission from sites of colonial oppression to aestheticized and nostalgia-drenched monasteries."--Back cover.
