Descripción
Sumario:This article compares the official and judicial discourse, and argues about who were the protagonists of violence in Nueva Vizcaya, Mexico, during late colonial times. The intense process of biological, social and cultural mestizaje implied in the above-mentioned problem does not show clearly in the documental testimonies. Judicial sources enabled us to analyze the definition of enemy, and they were also essential to discuss some ideas deeply rooted in traditional historiography and to illuminate some aspects of the inner dynamics of this colonial society.
