Los ecos indianos del gran levantamiento de Tupac Amaru y su proyección peninsular: un episodio olvidado

Abstract

The space-time coordinates of the rebel movement headed by Tupac Amaru II between 1780 and 1781 went further than its repercussions in Peru and Upper Peru. This article analyses the arduous journey undertaken by Tupamarista prisoners, both in Chile and Spain. In the Chilean case, we will study the fear aroused among local authorities by the temporary presence of these prisoners, especially as a possible source of social contagion. Regarding the few Tupamarista prisoners who survived shipwreck and disease before finally arriving in Spain, we will focus on their personal trajectories in Spanish jails in Africa.
