dc.description.abstract | This article studies the conflicts between conquerors and conquered in the
Gobernación (governorate) of Popayán (modern Colombia) in the second half of
the sixteenth century. The conflicts were arguably part of a negotiation process
between the different groups which played a significant part in shaping the
colonial societies. The article also studies the attempts of the colonial
bureaucracy to intervene in inter-ethnic relations, and transfer the negotiation
process to the colonial institutions. The relationships were not fixed, as the
interethnic dynamics constantly changed. The colonial contact zone was a place
of negotiation, but also a place of struggle, where the indigenous subjects
constantly challenged the conquerors' aspirations. Struggle and negotiation were
not mutually exclusive as forms of interaction. Violence and threat of it were part
of the negotiation process. The interethnic conflicts were a dynamic force through
which the colonial society took shape. In this article, I use diverse source material
from several colonial archives, including demographic, judicial, and
administrative documents, looking especially for clues revealing indigenous
agency in colonial society. | en |
