ARANGO-PUERTA, Mauricio. The Indian city of Tehuacán: a conflict for power between Indians and Spaniards, 1660-1808. Anu.hist.reg.front. [online]. 2023, vol.28, n.2, pp.223-248.  Epub 21-Jul-2023. ISSN 0122-2066.  https://doi.org/10.18273/revanu.v28n2-2023009.

The article deals with the conflicts between spaniards and indians over the exercise of power in the city of Tehuacán in the Viceroyalty of New Spain between 1660 and 1808. During this period it is possible to observe how the population processes of spaniards and mestizos confronted the governments of Indian cities. Despite the attempts for the city to be governed by Spanish landowners, the king tried to keep the indian elite in their right, giving prominence to their merits and services. For this, the renewed studies on political practice are followed from the review of actas, representations sent to the Council of the Indies and news that account for the disputed territory. The vision of the Indians as passive agents in the decisions and developments of the Monarchy is questioned, as is the separation between the so-called repúblicas de españoles and repúblicas de indios
