Abstract

PAZ, Gustavo L.. The End of Colonial Indian Corporate Institutions in the Independence Period: The Case of San Ignacio de los Tobas Mission, Jujuy. Mundo agrar. [online]. 2016, vol.17, n.35, pp.00-00. ISSN 1515-5994.

This work studies the impact of new economic policies introduced in the Rio de la Plata area since the revolutionary period on corporate land-holding institutions. The case under analysis is the Indian Mission of San Ignacio de los Tobas, located on the Eastern Chaco frontier, which experienced a process of land sale and final liquidation between 1816 and 1821. Two different economic logics were confronted in the process of liquidation of the Mission: One stood for the dismantling of corporate institutions and immediate land sales to public bidders, the other proposed the full restoration of the Mission as a corporate land-holding institution, though within a republican political framework that helped undermine its legitimacy.

Keywords : Corporate institutions; Indian Mission; Liberalism; Jujuy.
