| Summary: | The document chosen for the publication in this dossier includes a series of interrogatories to Indians made by Guarani-speaker interpreters in the Paraguay of the Conquest during the period 1542-1543. This early document raises interest in a stage of conquest in a peripheral zone scarcely studied to date, of which it has often been affirmed that it lacks sufficient sources. The document, conserved at the Archivo General de Indias, reveals the use of ethnic classifications and the interaction between indigenous and conquerors in search of the recognition of the territory and the peoples of Paraguay. |
