- Title
La cuantificación de la población de las islas Marianas: de la colonización hispana a la leyenda negra antiespañola .
- Authors

- Abstract
Mariana Islands were part of the Spanish Empire from the 17th century to the end of the 19th century. Nowadays, their inhabitants, the Chamorros, associate the Hispanic colonization with the exorbitant reduction of the population of the Mariana Islands. The strength of this idea in the collective imagination of this community has led to the effort of certain scientists to quantify it (Hezel, Shell, Carano, Driver, etc.). However, this mathematical exercise cannot be solved exactly because the historical sources (that constitute the reference of these calculations) show a large deviation as a consequence of their political use. On the other hand, anomalies are observed in the delimitation of the object of study.
