Abstract
El artículo indaga en los cambios y continuidades en la organización social interna del pueblo indígena mojeño de la Amazonía boliviana a fines del siglo XIX. El análisis cruzado de datos censales con catastros, padrones y peticiones de tierras permite indagar sobre el impacto de las medidas liberales entre este colectivo. Se afirma que, lejos de ser un grupo homogéneo, cuya incorporación a la sociedad republicana supuso las mismas vicisitudes, bajo el término «indígena» existía una gran heterogeneidad social, laboral y patrimonial.
Highlights
Since 1842 the populations from the Llanos de Mojos in the Bolivian lowlands are under the jurisdiction of the department of Beni
This study asserts that far from being a homogeneous group, whose incorporation into the Republican society entailed the same vicissitudes, a great social, occupational and patrimonial heterogeneity was hiding under the term “indigenous”
Its practice was determined by the role played in the core of the indigenous society which under the Jesuit rule, this one had been reorganised into two functional categories: pueblo and familia
Summary
42-43. Lehm, Lijerón and Vare, 1990: 10, 44-45. Block, 1997: 235-236. Van Valen, 2013: 28-88. Some works related to this issue are Lehm, 1999 and Van Valen, 2013. There were only 5 forasteros (non-indigenous inhabitants) with properties in Trinidad, this number increased to approximately 560 individuals in the 1870s. This population was divided into 569 whites and 191 mestizos in 1896.21. The importance of the census does not lie in these numbers, but in the information it provides on the impact that the mentioned events entailed among the indigenous people living in Trinidad, into their social and labour organization.
