CEBALLOS-BEDOYA, Nicolás. Indigenous Uses of the Law in the New Kingdom of Granada: Resistance and Legal Pluralism in the Colonial Law. 1750-1810. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2011, vol.13, n.2, pp.221-248. ISSN 0124-0579.

The text explores the ways in wich the indigenous people used the law during the last stage of the colonial era, it means, since the Bourbon reforms to the independence. The first part of the text is the result of an historiographical review, that shows the way in which the original ideal of the colonial regime of conserving the indigenous legal systems was transformed into the creation of a distinctive legal system that pretended to separate the "republic of indians" from the "republic of spaniards". The separation was not effective in order to preserve the pre hispanic legal traditions, but it allowed the different ways in which the law was used as a mecanism for adaption and resistance. The second part of the article describes those uses of law, with some legal actions by the indigeous people in the end of the XVIII century and the beggining of the XIX in the New Kingdom of Granada.
