BONNEFOY, BAPTISTE. Urban Notability, Power and Evergetism in Colonial Guatemala: The Case of the Mulato Captain Juan de Fuentes. Front. hist. [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.1, pp.200-228.  Epub 01-Jan-2021. ISSN 2027-4688.  https://doi.org/10.22380/20274688.1153.

This article examines the possibilities and limitations of coloured elites in Santiago de Guatemala between the end of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century. By studying the case of Juan de Fuentes (1662-1722), a mulatto captain and master gilder, it aims to analyse in detail the practices and strategies of the coloured elites to build their urban notability. This article shows how the brotherhoods, militias and guilds formed a system and constituted the different stages of a codified notability, from which free people of colour were not necessarily excluded.
