Although generally ignored in recent revolution-centered versions of the Latin American independence processes, their story is an essential part of the history of the period. In Indian and Slave Royalists in the Age of Revolution, Marcela Echeverri draws a picture of the royalist region of Popayán (modern-day Colombia) that reveals deep chronological layers and multiple social and spatial textures. She uses royalism as a lens to rethink the temporal, spatial, and conceptual boundaries that conventionally structure historical narratives about the Age of Revolution. Looking at royalism and liberal reform in the northern Andes, she suggests that profound changes took place within the royalist territories. These emerged as a result of the negotiation of the rights of local people, Indians and slaves, with the changing monarchical regime"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Indians of South America -- Colombia -- Popayán Region -- Politics and government -- 18th century Enslaved persons -- Political activity -- Colombia -- Popayán Region -- History Royalists -- Colombia -- Popayán Region -- History Social change -- Colombia -- Popayán Region -- History Revolutions -- Colombia -- Popayán Region -- History POLITICAL SCIENCE -- Political Freedom & Security -- Civil Rights.
