Between Resistance and Adaptation

Indigenous Peoples and the Colonisation of the Chocó, 1510–1753

A study of the interactions between Indians and Spaniards in the Chocó throughout much of the colonial period, revealing the complexity of inter-ethnic relations in frontier regions. The author considers the changing relationships not only between Spaniards and Indians but also between factions of both groups, showing how Spaniards and Indians sometimes allied with each other against other ethnically mixed groups with different agendas. No similar study covers this topic.
