| description |
Traditionally, scholars have pointed out the harmful effects of indigenous mercantile participation: acculturation, economic dependence and social polarization. In this article, we offer evidence that gives a more nuanced image in the case of the indigenous communities of the southeastern Pampas between the 18th and 19th centuries, where indigenous mercantile participation was neither forced, nor even induced, but enthusiastically spontaneous. Taking the evidence of a century of inter-ethnic trade, we observe that the indigenous peoples became avid consumers, skilled traders and industrious producers of goods. They zealously defended their freedom to trade, set up commercial ports in their territory and became part of local, regional and overseas trade networks. In short, the indigenous peoples of the southeastern Pampas created their own forms of mercantile participation that earned them the label of “trading peoples” in the transition between the Ancien Régime and economic liberalism. |

Tradicionalmente, se han señalado los efectos desestructurantes de la participación mercantil indígena: aculturación, dependencia económica y polarización social. En este artículo brindamos indicios que permiten matizar esta imagen para el caso del mundo indígena del sudeste pampeano entre los siglos XVIII y XIX, donde la participación mercantil indígena no fue forzada, ni siquiera inducida, sino entusiastamente espontánea. Con la evidencia de un siglo de comercio interétnico, observamos que los indígenas se convirtieron en ávidos consumidores, hábiles traficantes e industriosos productores de mercancías; defendieron celosamente su libertad de comercio, habilitaron puertos de intercambio en su territorio y se insertaron en redes mercantiles locales, regionales y ultramarinas. En suma, los pueblos indígenas del sudeste pampeano gestaron sus propias modalidades de participación mercantil que les valieron el apelativo de “naciones comerciantes” en la transición entre el Antiguo Régimen y el liberalismo económico. Tradicionalmente, os efeitos destrutivos da participação comercial indígena têm sido apontados: aculturação, dependência econômica e polarização social. Neste artigo, fornecemos pistas que nos permitem qualificar essa imagem para o caso do mundo indígena do sudeste do Pampa entre os séculos XVIII e XIX, onde a participação comercial indígena não foi forçada, nem mesmo induzida, mas entusiasticamente espontânea. Com a evidência de um século de comércio interétnico, observamos que os povos indígenas se tornaram consumidores ávidos, traficantes qualificados e produtores industriosos de bens; Eles defenderam zelosamente sua liberdade de comércio, estabeleceram portos comerciais em seu território e se tornaram parte de redes comerciais locais, regionais e internacionais. Em suma, os povos indígenas do sudeste do Pampa desenvolveram formas próprias de participação comercial, o que lhes rendeu o apelido de "nações comerciais" durante a transição do Antigo Regime para o liberalismo econômico.
