| description | Scattered colonial records referring to the area of Jaltepec, in the isthmus of Tehuantepec, reveal how Zapotecs and Spaniards gradually created during the sixteenth century a bureaucratic network which eventually led the former to succeed in their age-old war against the Mixes. Whereas the Zapotecs were already considered efficient and bureaucratic litigants by the first decade after Cortes' arrival, the insubordinate Mixes continued fighting during the whole century. The resulting documentary lag has led to the belief that the “Mixes of Oaxaca” lacked the more civilized Prehispanic history of those Mixes who quickly adopted Spanish literacy, as did their Zapotec enemies. However, a more geographicallyin formed reading of this ethnohistorical puzzle suggests that the presence and territorial coherence of the Mixes-Zoques-Popolucas of Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco, and Veracruz were greater that we suppose, and that Zapotec influence in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec was a milestone in the Spanish colonization of America. |

Whereas the Zapotecs were already considered efficient and bureaucratic litigants by the first decade after Cortes' arrival, the insubordinate Mixes continued fighting during the whole century. The resulting documentary lag has led to the belief that the “Mixes of Oaxaca” lacked the more civilized Prehispanic history of those Mixes who quickly adopted Spanish literacy, as did their Zapotec enemies.

Dispersos registros coloniales que se refieren al área de Jaltepec, en el parteaguas continental, revelan cómo zapotecos y españoles crearon una red burocrática durante el siglo XVI, imponiéndose finalmente los primeros en su antigua guerra contra los mixes. Mientras los zapotecos ya eran considerados litigantes eficaces y burocráticos en la primera década que siguió a la llegada de Cortés, los mixes, insumisos, siguieron enfrascados en incesantes guerras hasta finalizar el siglo. El desfase documental que resultó ha llevado a pensar que los “Mixes de Oaxaca” no tuvieron la historia prehispánica más civilizada de aquellos que —como los entonces enemigos zapotecos— adoptaron rápidamente las letras españolas. Una relectura geográficamente informada del rompecabezas etnohistórico istmeño sugiere que los mixe-zoque-popoluca de Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco y Veracruz tuvieron una presencia y coherencia territorial mayor de lo que se suponía, y que la zapotequización del istmo mexicano de Tehuantepec es un hito clave de la colonización española en América.
