          Abstract

          Proponemos una nueva interpretación del régimen colonial en la provincia de Sonora y en el norte de la de Sinaloa -entre los ríos Gila y Fuerte-, basados en el proceso de descomposición registrado por las misiones desde 1681, manifiesto en una sucesión de rebeliones interétnicas y en una acentuada movilidad espacial de su población. Estos procesos conducen a considerar que el énfasis puesto en la expulsión de los misioneros en 1767 es más bien una estrategia de victimización; también se arguye, que la coerción física y simbólica empleada por ellos es intrínseca a la naturaleza del régimen misional establecido en la región. Además, la capacidad de respuesta política de las sociedades indígenas es más compleja de lo que conceden los textos de los misioneros, recuperada luego de la caída demográfica y fortalecida a lo largo del siglo XVIII. Por su parte, la población civil y presidial en este espacio tenía una dinámica propia, no subordinada a los misioneros.

          Translated abstract

          We propose a new interpretation of the colonial regime in the province of Sonora and in the northern part of the province of Sinaloa -between the Gila and Fuerte rivers-, based on the breakdown the missions registered beginning in 1681, evidenced by a succession of interethnic rebellions and an increase in the population's spatial mobility. All these facts lead us to consider that the emphasis given to the missionaries' expulsion in 1767 is rather a victimization strategy; it is also argued that the missionaries' use of physical and symbolic coercion is inherent to the nature of the regime they established in the region. Furthermore, the indigenous societies' capacity for political response, which recovered after the demographic decline and strengthened throughout the 18th century, is more complex than what is evidenced by the missionaries' texts. In addition, the civil and presidial population living in this region had economic and social dynamics of their own which were not subordinate to the missionaries.
