La república perdida de Santos Guayama. Demandas indígenas y rebeliones montoneras en Argentina, siglo XIX

Abstract

Centered in the caudillo Santos Guayama, this article analyses the impact ofindigenous political traditions on the federalist rebelions in the Argentinean westbetween 1860 and 1870 decades. The Argentinean historiography doesn’t considerthe significance of ethnic experiences as factors of political movilization duringthis period. But recent documental findings on Guanacache area, at the core of theregion, suggest the close relationship of these conflicts with political indigenoustraditions of land struggle from ancient reductions.
