MAESTRI, Nicoletta. Politics and Practices of Mobility in Early Colonial Tabasco: Real and Imaginary Power. Estud. hist. novohisp [online]. 2022, n.66, pp.121-152.  Epub June 06, 2022. ISSN 2448-6922.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iih.24486922e.2022.66.77691.

The fragmented geography of Tabasco, characterized by challenging hydrography and low population levels, constituted a landscape at the onset of colonial domination that escaped from the direct control of the government authorities. Through the analysis of maps and written sources, the aim of this study is to disentangle the politics of mobility that underlay the new socio-political organization of the region and to highlight possible practices of resistance to the new colonial order.

Keywords : Tabasco; politics of mobility; transportation; navigation; resistance.
