Between Indigenous community and the Liberal State : The neighborgs of Carangas ( XIX-XX centuries)

This text questions the historical role of the vecinos (residents) in their relation between the highland communities and the Bolivian State (late 19th-early 20th century). Departing from a case study in the Carangas province (Oruro), the consolidation of these rural elites as the nexus between the community and the State and between the community and the market will be analyzed. Paradoxically, the strategies developed to that end implicated their gradual integration in the community, converting them into ambiguous intermediaries between two apparently opposite worlds.
