| Sumario: | The aim of this paper is to present a preliminary approach about interethnic relations between african population and indigenous in Quilmes’s reduction, from a perspective that emphasizes its active role inside the colonial social structure. The modern city of Quilmes (Buenos Aires) originates in 1666 with the installation of an indigenous reduction of Quilmes and Acalianos from Tucumán. Over the years the reduction incorporates new people, settling a multiethnic society where complex social relations between indigenous, African and Spanish or Creole were established. This approach presents a summary of the results from the documentary evidence, considering the contradictions, ambiguities, cracks and inconsistencies in the written story (Hall 1999), making visible the African populations, invisible in Quilmes for so long. It is part of the development of my doctoral thesis, that discusses the presence of Africans and slavery in colonial Quilmes from an archaeological approach. |
