As a definitive study of the poorly understood Apaches de paz, this
book explains how war-weary, mutually suspicious Apaches and
Spaniards negotiated an ambivalent compromise after 1786 that
produced over four decades of uneasy peace across the region. In
response to drought and military pressure, thousands of Apaches
settled near Spanish presidios in a system of reservation-like
establecimientos, or settlements, stretching from Laredo to Tucson.
Far more significant than previously assumed, the establecimientos
constituted the earliest and most extensive set of military-run
reservations in the Americas and served as an important precedent
for Indian reservations in the United States. As a case study of
indigenous adaptation to imperial power on colonial frontiers and
borderlands, this book reveals the importance of Apache-Hispanic
diplomacy in reducing cross-cultural violence and the limits of
indigenous acculturation and assimilation into empires and states.
