Abstract
En este artículo se analizan retratos fotográficos tomados a la población indígena de la comunidad embera (catío y chamí), habitante del Chocó, que fue objeto de evangelización por parte de la Misión del Inmaculado Corazón de María, las Hermanas de la Presentación (Quibdó) y las Siervas del Santísimo Sacramento (Istmina) desde comienzos del siglo XX. A partir de imágenes, de narrativas de la misión y de cifras de estadísticas disponibles en las fuentes primarias, se identifican y analizan los significados que los misioneros dieron al proceso de civilización a través de la evangelización.The journal Memoria y Sociedad is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
