MONROY MERCHAN, María del Pilar. In the voice of one: foundation and interaction of a mestizo brotherhood in the northeast of New Granada (1625-1650). Anu.hist.reg.front. [online]. 2020, vol.25, n.1, pp.69-102.  Epub 30-Dez-2019. ISSN 0122-2066.  https://doi.org/10.18273/revanu.v25n1-2020003.

From the study of the Libro de la Cofradía de la Natividad (book of the Natividad Brotherhood) of the town of Moncora, written by the priests of the town from 1625 to 1805, and which is available in the Archivo Histórico Regional de Santander (AHRS), this article explores the foundation of a corporate body which pragmatically followed the Synod Constitutions and established the elective system of charges based on the recognition of indigenous and Spanish elites. Such elites shared the economic administration of the brotherhood, the organization of religious festivities and the adaptation of the chapel. The article analyzes how the foundation of the brotherhood did not respond to a process of coercion of the indigenous groups by the Hispanic order. Far from this vision, it is considered that both ethnic groups “lived together” in the corporation by identifying with the logic of subjectivist thinking . Based on the critique of sources and the hypothetical- deductive research methodology, the configuration of a mestizo brotherhood is analyzed, a space in which indigenous and Spanish sealed the permanence of the colonial order under the oath “in the voice of one”.
