DIAZ JARAMILLO, José Abelardo. Against the Sacred Duty: Eluding Mandatory Military Service in Cundinamarca (1902-1932). Anu.hist.reg.front. [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.1, pp.261-291. ISSN 0122-2066.  https://doi.org/10.18273/revanua.v21n1-2016010.

This article focuses on the analysis of the military recruitment policies in Cundinamarca between 1902 and 1932, highlighting their questioning by broad sectors of the population that consider them selective and discriminatory. The article identify the images employed by the State to promote military recruitment and the factors that encouraged draftees to question military service. Furthermore, this paper analyzes some strategies utilized by draftees to evade a provision that, in fact, reinforced social differences during the period of study. The article is supported in several sources such as official legislation about military service, recruitment reports completed by prefects at regional level, and the reports published by the press at that time.

Keywords : mandatory military service; Cundinamarca; draftees; elusion.
