Resumen
MACHUCA GALLEGOS, Laura. Maya hacendados and rancheros from Yucatán in the 19th Century. Estud. cult. maya [online]. 2010, vol.36, pp.173-200. ISSN 0185-2574.
Haciendas were not exclusive for "white" powerful groups, since they were available for the Maya. Hacienda was one of the only productive economic activities in the peninsula, so the Maya (in spite of being a minority) became the owners. They even had debtor workers. They were not marginalized from economic development but rather participated actively in it. This paper studies Maya masters by following some of their strategies and reconstructing both their binds and relations. Our main source are notarial documents, particularly testaments, where some variables like spouse, testamentary executor and witness are studied.
