Contrasting Resistance and Alliances in the Ethnic State of Napiniaca, Chiapas (Mexico) (1521–1590): The Anthropological and Historical Aspects

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The present article aims to re-evaluate the gamut of ostensible alliances forged between colonial subordinates and those who subordinated them in the ethnic state of Napiniaca, Mexico, as well as identify the social spaces and contexts in which such alliances were formed and ultimately fell apart. It will do so by attempting to “unwrap” indigenous strategies and forms of resistance based on the admittedly limited texts we currently possess, in light of modern research and theory in both (ethno) history and anthropology.
