Description
Summary:In the American geography, the settlements created a web with many threads (administrative, political, functional, demographic, cultural and religious). There were conflicts between the Spanish towns and cities in America, but there were also collaborations to achieve common aims. This article considers some aspects of this rivalry and collaboration in the Antilles and New Spain in the early 16th century. The mobility of the population from one settlement to another was the cause of the rivalry; while the collaboration between cabildos concerned the designation of representatives (procuradores) before the King. Both aspects reveal hierarchies and the existence of threads that define each settlement by what it had, but even more by what it lacked.
