Estado, frontera y ciudadanía. El Septentrión entre el Antiguo Regimen y la formación de la nación mexicana
The study explores the specific historical circumstances in which the Mexican state of Chihuahua was created and became integrated into the Mexican federation. Usually, historiography has considered 1821 as a starting point for the integration of this state to the Mexican nation when Independence was proclaimed in this country. The same happens with the independence studies that generally start in 1810 when the uprising of insurgent forces began. Thus, those temporal arcs form real historiographical boundaries which are difficult to cross. The author argues that in order to achieve a deeper analysis of the creation of the state of Chihuahua, we need to trespass those boundaries. For this purpose, he explores a series of events which took already place during the Spanish colonial rule. He provides an in-depth study of two fundamental events that marked the evolution of the Northern part of present-day of Mexico. Both events originated in Spain...

Usually, historiography has considered 1821 as a starting point for the integration of this state to the Mexican nation when Independence was proclaimed in this country. The same happens with the independence studies that generally start in 1810 when the uprising of insurgent forces began. Thus, those temporal arcs form real historiographical boundaries which are difficult to cross. The author argues that in order to achieve a deeper analysis of the creation of the state of Chihuahua, we need to trespass those boundaries. For this purpose, he explores a series of events which took already place during the Spanish colonial rule. He provides an in-depth study of two fundamental events that marked the evolution of the Northern part of present-day of Mexico. Both events originated in Spain in 1767: the Jesuit expulsion and the Sierra Morena colonization project in Spain that was implemented in the internal provinces of Northern Mexico. He concludes that the new ethos of rationality does not begin at the declaration of independence as a new nation project definition; its ideological foundation had already been defined in the old colonial regime. In this manner, there is continuity between the expressions of the old on the Hapsburg model and the new, based in Bourbon impositions, and they were passed down to the new Republican regime.
