It seeks for a bottom-up perspective on the history of New Spain throughout its three centuries of viceroyalty. Its aim is to show that arrieros or mule riders did not form a solid group, suggesting instead that many people worked mule trains for short periods of time. The author insists on the need to examine arrieros within the context of groups and individuals who, like them, constantly moved from one place to another. This trait is probably typical of many castes, who thus evaded New Spain's rigidly hierarchical society. In order to sustain this idea and fix a starting line for the social-cultural history of arrieros, the author introduces a series of data, both qualitative ad quantitative, regarding means of transportation, the people operating them, and their lifestyles. El presente artículo trata del socialmente polifacético mundo del transporte. Busca una perspectiva “desde abajo” a la historia de la Nueva España a través de los tres siglos de la época virreinal. Quiere demostrar que los arrieros no formaban ningún grupo bien definido, sino que mucha gente se dedicaban sólo por tiempos reducidos al trabajo en las recuas. El texto plantea la necesidad de analizar a los arrieros dentro del contexto de los grupos y de la gente que como ellos se caracterizaban por la movilidad en el espacio, fenómeno probablemente característico de gran parte de las castas, que encontraban en él un escape de las rígidas reglas de la sociedad estamental de la Nueva España. Para ello presenta un conjunto de datos empíricos, tanto cuantitivos como cualitativos, sobre los diferentes variedades del transporte, de la composición de la gente que se ocupaba en ellas y de sus formas de vida, para establecer un punto de partida de una historia sociocultural de la arriería.El Colegio de México, A.C.2014-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://historiamexicana.colmex.mx/index.php/RHM/article/view/28Historia Mexicana; Vol. 64, Núm. 1 (253) julio-septiembre 2014; 65-1042448-65310185-0172reponame:Historia Mexicanainstname:EL COLEGIO DE MÉXICOinstacron:COLMEXspahttps://historiamexicana.colmex.mx/index.php/RHM/article/view/28/21Derechos de autor 2015 Historia Mexicanainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:oai.historiamexicana.colmex.mx:article/282024-08-16T21:55:02Z
