Changadores and local power in the Atlantic market of hides (Soriano and Rio Grande, 1780-1810)
Abstract
Taking into account data showing the relationship of subaltern groups (frequently associated with social chaos and criminal life), indigenous and slaves with members of local elites in the eastern part of the River Plate, this article emphasizes the importance of these relationships for developing and maintaining Atlantic business which meant trade of hides, tobacco, rum and slaves. The text examines the social strategies of the creation of these networks and their geographic extensions, between Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Lisbon and Madrid, without neglecting the Mirim Lagoon neighbors.
Keywords: smuggling, Atlantic market, social networks.
