The Virgin and the land surveyor: Andean pueblo boundary making in the Highlands of late colonial Ecuador
Building Indigenous Subjectivity: Jesuit Pedagogies of Emotion in the Colonial Andes
Transforming the religious outlook of Indigenous populations in the colonial Andes became an imperial undertaking that required more than an external change. In the Andes, the missionary enterprise of the Jesuits created a wholesale design of mechanisms for an effective intervention in the psyche of the Native children of the Andean kurakas. Indoctrinators used the schools of caciques and other missional spaces to direct these young students' men…
Indian Colonial Actors in the Lawmaking of the Spanish Empire in Peru
The foundations of the "Republic of the Indians" in the New World rested on a legal substratum that took more solid shape in the everyday interaction between indigenous subjects and the Spanish courts. Grounded in the local cabildos of some pueblos de indios in cosmopolitan areas of late colonial Peru, a higher level of legal activism that emerged was engaged in the production of laws seeking to modify well-established imperial practices of prote…
Jane E. Mangan. Transatlantic Obligations: Creating the Bonds of Family in Conquest-Era Peru and Spain
Reflection on the fine layers of emotions behind human behavior has entered the historical inquiry in the last twenty years in Europe and more recently in the U.S. and Latin America. By exploring the feelings of obligation, affection, and gratitude that underlie the formation of the colonial family and its links to empire making in the Andes, Jane E. Mangan offers a multilayered narrative of the historical dynamics of marital union making, unveil…
Cabildos de naturales en el ocaso colonial: Jurisdicción, posesión y defensa del espacio étnico
This essay examines important changes in the jurisdiction of the Republic of the Indians in late colonial Peru by problematizing the concept of possession and usufruct of communal lands in the Indian towns after 1777, when the Bourbon set the sub-delegate courts to replace the former court of the corregidor. The 1784 and 1803 Ordenanzas de Intendencia displaced more firmly the jurisdictional authority of the indigenous Cabildo and its ability to …
Global Indios: The Indigenous Struggle for Justice in Sixteenth-Century Spain
In the midst of the Spanish conquest of America, captives from various global settings were forced out of their native homelands and moved by their masters across the oceans and closer to the king's seat. From that locus, slaves later approached the podiums of the royal courts to challenge the crown by using its own legal discourse of freedom. Nancy van Deusen has written a masterpiece of early modern ethnohistory that brings to light a veritable…
The Lima Indian Letrados: Remaking the República de Indios in the Bourbon Andes
In building its early modern empire across the Atlantic, Spain deployed an army of legal bureaucrats who were rooted in the Iberian culture of letters and inherited Roman law. To rule their possessions in the New World, the Habsburgs attempted a wholesale incorporation of indigenous peoples into a Hispanicized legal culture. They redistributed the native population, introduced new forms of communication, and implemented their notions of justice a…
Introduction: Andeans Articulating Colonial Worlds
Whether they be the painted walls and highly ‘dressed’ altars of Andean churches, or the collective knotted strings and litigation proceedings housed in locked chests in local Indian municipal councils, artifacts conjure up cultural interstices instrumental for discerning the “fine grain” of Spanish colonialism in the Andes. After the early years of the Spanish presence, the Andes became a mosaic of multifarious articulations of indigenous, Europ…
Vertical Empire: The General Resettlement of Indians in the Colonial Andes
Commonly viewed as one of the major organizers of the colonial system in the Andes, Viceroy Francisco de Toledo and his colonial consolidation policies have received their own share of attention from Andeanists, partly as a general assessment of the social and cultural transformation that his overhaul of the Andean and Inca societies (1569–1581) effected. Analysts have generally addressed the relevance of the reducciones, or resettlement program,…

Fronteras culturales difusas: Autonomía étnica e identidad en textos andinos del siglo XVII
Este ensayo examina algunas nociones de poder étnico y construcciones discursivas de identidad que figuran prominentemente en dos complejos textos andinos del siglo XVII, posteriores a las obras de Guaman Poma de Ayala y Garcilaso de la Vega. Replanteando principios medievales escolásticos como «derecho natural», «bien común» y «buen gobierno», estos escritos buscaron legitimar el derecho de los sujetos andinos al gobierno de sus cacicazgos, dado…
