Summary
Early 19th-century transformations in the indigenous communities of Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina, were marked by shifts in power dynamics, militarization, and emerging citizenship processes. A key finding is the significant role of indigenous military participation during the wars of independence, which reshaped local governance structures and cacicazgos (chiefdoms). The study highlights how the implementation of suffrage further altered these relationships, reflecting broader societal changes. Using historical analysis, the research examines archival records to trace these transformations, offering insights into the complex interplay between war, politics, and indigenous autonomy during this pivotal period.
