This work is set in one of the last Spanish colonizing campaigns: the founding of Nuevo Santander (today Tamaulipas). In this process, many of the concepts that guided the Hispanic advance in northern lands, such as evangelization, were neglected. The Spanish colonizer José de Escandón applied a policy of subjugation and even extermination against those who opposed being reduced to the villages or congregating in the missions, a position that, over time, nurtured a tenacious and singular resistance. The author addresses this facet from an approach that goes beyond the romantic idea of the native who resisted until succumbing and shows how the natives of the center-south, of this region, developed a series of strategies, among which open and frank rebellion was not the only exit. This book is a window into a world far away in time and space, but present at the same time, since Mexico is the result of mixing and confrontation between Spanish and indigenous societies.
