TítuloSMOLDERING ASHES. THE AFTERMATH OF THE TUPAC AMARU REBELLION, 1783-1809
Resumo

This paper analyzes the southern region of the viceroyalty of Peru after the Tupac Amaru rebellion, between 1783 and 1809. I argue that despite the crown’s brutal repression of the rebels, and the implementation of administrative changes as part of the Bourbon Reforms, two sources of conflict that had bolstered the great rebellion were still present: the persistence of reparto (forced sale of goods to Indigenous people), and land expropriation. Through the analysis of ecclesiastical and civil/criminal records I will show how these conflicts combined with the crisis of the hereditary cacique’s (local chief) role fostered many territorially circumscribed rebellions that tested the crown’s authority and pushed for more indigenous political autonomy after the rebellion and until the imperial crisis of 1808.
