The Hacienda and the Formation of Cultural Traditions in Nueva Granada

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The hacienda in Nueva Granada was a space of domination by the Europeans in their colonial expansion in America. In it, a multiplicity of intercultural relationships were woven between indigenous people, enslaved Africans and Spanish. This melting pot of individuals with different cultures and originating from various societies found themselves on the farm creating relationships of domination-subordination around the land. Thus, Indigenous people and Africans who were brought as slaves to these lands had to create adaptation strategies to survive in the face of the new reality imposed by Europeans on the American continent. The hacienda space was the setting where new habitus were created, adapted, and innovated, which over time cemented deep-rooted cultural traditions, arising from Spanish colonialism.
