Trasplantes incaicos o etnogénesis poscolonial? El origen de los salasacas de la Sierra ecuatoriana
The salasacas are an indigenous group with a controversial history of origen. Many manuscripts state that they descend from an uprooted Inca population that traveled north from present Bolivia to their new settlement that is now Ecuador. The article presents an alternative narrative that identifies three separate migrations to Salasaca, by different indigenas groups, in the Sixteenth Century. It shows that the modern Salasacan nationality emerged…
Ethnogenesis, Ethnicity, and "Cultural Refusal": The Case of the Salasacas in Highland Ecuador
The Salasacas are one of several indigenous peoples in highland Ecuador who consider themselves, and are considered by others, to be a distinct, homogeneous blood group. Throughout the Incaic, Spanish, and national periods, we trace their ethnogenesis from diverse origins to a single, highly unified ethnic community. Using an interdisciplinary methodology that combines historical and ethnographic data and follows the movement of current Salasaca …
Quito 1599: City and Colony in Transition
What distinguishes Kris Lane’s Quito 1599 from other studies of the audiencia is that, unlike previous scholars, Lane does not treat the audiencia as a coherent, seamless entity, but as a multiseamed constellation of different regions with distinct historical trajectories. With the exception of chapter 3, “Tilling the Center,” Lane’s interests lie with the so-called margins, both geographically and thematically. Lane’s attempt to decenter the aud…
Etnias del Norte: Etnohistoria e historia de Ecuador
In Etnias del Norte, Chantal Caillavet gathers together, in one place, a lifetime of work on the northern Andes. The book’s chapters were previously published as articles, book chapters, and conference proceedings, but for the purposes of this project she has expanded and updated them. Most essays are devoted to the prehispanic and colonial history of northern Ecuador in general and Otavalo in particu lar, although Caillavet diverges to works on …

Andeans and Spaniards in the Contact Zone: A Gendered Collision
Although the Spanish invasion of the Andes has frequently been figured as a cultural collision, what remains less chronicled is that it was also a gender collision. For embedded within that confrontation between two vastly different worlds European and native American was an encounter between peoples who held dissimilar beliefs about what it meant to be a woman and what it meant to be a man. The purpose of this article is to: (1) explore how gend…

The Battle for Bodies and Souls in the Colonial North Andes: Intraecclesiastical Struggles and the Politics of Migration
H I S study uses intraecclesiastical conflict in the Audiencia of Quito as a vehicle for exploring the relationship between migration and political change from approximately 1534 to 1700. First, it analyzes how lower caste agency, in the form of Indian population movements and resultant mestizaje, subverted the race-based political order of the colony. Second, it examines how the products of migration, forasteros and castes, helped shape the colo…
