- Abstract
Colonial historiography has considered American militias mostly as simple military units. Nevertheless, thoughtful analysis of the daily functioning of frontier garrisons in Buenos Aires shows the use of these militias as manpower dedicated to fortification works. The current article is an inquiry into the social and labour relations which emerged around the militias and acknowledges the social practices and customs that facilitated the existence of militias, as well as the moments and ways in which commoners resisted these social relations.
