AbstractThis article analyzes aspects of the complex process that led to independence in the Viceroyalty of Nueva Granada. It focuses on the role of religion and of social actors that have not been sufficiently taken into account in traditional historiography. The latter has paid much attention to political and economic aspects, but has disregarded other important changes that propelled the independence process, profound socio-cultural transformations and events that indicate the complexity of the process. First of all, this was not just a revolution from above and the historical periodization has to be reworked as a result of the Borbonic Reforms, with their leaning toward enlightenment. We must not consider the military uprisings as the starting point of the emancipation from the Spanish crown. Even though the colonial societies did not follow the same path as the European bourgeois revolutions with their proposed liberal perspectives, important changes did indeed happen, in which all social groups were implicated. From both the religious and particularly the women's historical perspective we can see the important transformations that took place. Examples are provided of how women of the popular classes triggered the process. Likewise, women amongst the educated elite, large sectors of the Creole clergy and some educational institutions were important agents of the ideological changes, by propagating new ideas. All these, in turn, paved the way for the further diversification of the ideological and religious landscape of Latin America during the independence period.

AbstractThis essay shows that the growth of the economy of New Granada during the Eighteenth Century made an important impact on its political center, Santafé de Bogota, at least until 1808. Such prosperity was the result of a process of specialization and division of labor between different regions of the new kingdom, derived from the dynamics of gold mining that gave a strong impulse to Santafé's economy as a trade center for the handicraft production of Eastern Colombia and the fertile savanna surrounding it, which was a net food exporter. The Mint established in Santafé, which was a de facto monopoly, attracted merchants and miners who established there a center for the exchange of gold dust for coin.

Nueva Granada

Desde finales del siglo XVII, y con mayor frecuencia a partir de la década de 1770, diferentes lu-gares de la Nueva Granada se vieron asolados por sequías y plagas que incidieron en la escasez de alimentos esenciales como el trigo, el maíz, el plátano y la carne. En este artículo, las hambru-nas se reconstruyen a partir de una concepción amplia de crisis de subsistencia, que no se limita a las cifras de muertes por inanición, con frecuencia difíciles de desagregar, sino a partir de un conjunto de condiciones demográficas, económicas y de control (o descontrol) social. Las men-ciones puntuales sobre hambrunas y los indicios de crisis de subsistencia, junto con los factores propicios para generar escasez, fueron buscados en fuentes documentales diversas, que incluyen órdenes para el abasto de las ciudades, visitas civiles y eclesiásticas, diligencias de traslado de indios y disolución de resguardos, reclamos de curas por sus pagos, procesos judiciales, relaciones de mando y solicitudes de exención tributaria. La carencia de víveres varias veces coincidió con epidemias y la hambruna fue propiciada por factores como las demandas de alimentos y materias primas impuestas por las principales ciudades, la inexistencia de graneros públicos, la supresión de resguardos, la migración a los centros urbanos, y las regulaciones sobre comercio exterior.
