SUAREZ CASTRO, María de Guadalupe. Community Goods in Yucatan at the End of the 18th Century: The Case of Izamal. Estud. cult. maya [online]. 2021, vol.58, pp.161-185. Epub 04-Oct-2021. ISSN 0185-2574. https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ecm.2021.58.23865.
In this paper, we will consider the administration of the community goods of Yucatecan towns during Colonial period. As an example, we analyze the community goods of Izamal, through the “Matricula y cuenta de comunidad de los indios de la cabecera y pueblo de Izamal de 1795”, a document located in the Archivo General de la Nacion of Mexico. “The Matricula y cuenta” is, along with Buczotz and Pixila (previous documents in the same record), the only ones of its kind that we have found for the Yucatecan towns of the eighteenth century. Finally, we propose that the Izamal neighborhoods corresponded to the guild farms sold a few years before by the bishop fray Luis Piña y Mazo. As they were also part of the community goods, the farms were deliberately concealed by local authorities to avoid their dispossession and to preserve the bonds of community reciprocity.
