| description | This essay analyses the policy carried out by the oidor Juan del Barrio Sepúlveda in Esmeraldas, a region located to the northeast of Quito, at the beginning of the XVIIth century. This case allows an analysis of the possibilities and limitations of the Spanish imperial power in the marginal areas of the American colonies. Sepúlveda’s policy rests on a group of unstable alliances with local authorities, indigenous and maroons caciques. These alliances relied on the distribution of gifts by the Real Audiencia. Nevertheless this policy had a limited success. The changes of conjuncture show the fragility of the established agreements and put in question his continuity. Each of the involved parts handles proper agendas, which medium-term turn out to be incompatible. |
