Presents a detailed study of colonialperiod exploitation in the Chalco and Coatepec regions (State of Mexico). The authors draw on archival manuscripts from the mid-16th century—especially a case of forced labour imposed on Indigenous barrios by the alcalde mayor Jorge Cerón Carvajal—to expose mechanisms of coercion, labour extraction and Indigenous agency. By foregrounding the voices of Indigenous communities through their own petitions and records, the work invites a deeper understanding of daily life, social organisation and resistance under colonial rule.
