Los Papeles de Analco: poder, prestigio y lucha por la tierra en la Sierra Norte de Oaxaca

Abstract

The objective of this text is to present a documentary file concerning the agrarian history of Analco, an Indigenous town located in the Sierra Norte de Oaxaca, Mexico. To contextualize the file, the history of this settlement and its regional importance, as well as the place it has occupied in historiography, is first explained. Next, the originals kept in the Villa Alta Parish Historical Archive are compared with the microfilming carried out in 1978 to show the losses suffered by the documentation. It also analyzes the contribution of the file to the early history of this settlement.
