Abstract

FRADKIN, RO. Something more than Drunkenness: Tensions and Fears in the Buenos Aires South Border before the Rural Uprising of 1829. Andes [online]. 2006, n.17, pp.51-82. ISSN 1668-8090.

The article intends to identify some of the preconditions that allowed the massive rural mobilization to take place in Buenos Aires between the end of 1828 and about the middle of 1829. Through the analysis of an episode happened in the town of Dolores at the beginning of 1828, this article intends to trace the previous experiences of the actors. This episode will also be compared to the practices of mobilization and conflict that took place after the colonial order crisis, and to the increasing social and interethnic tensions generated in the Buenos Aires countryside. The main purpose is then to consider the tensions and conflicts that arose in an area of the south border that became the epicenter of the uprising that would occur some months later.

Keywords : Buenos Aires; Social conflict; Interethnic tensions; Border.
