Description: "Institutional case study of encomienda regime provides a local illustration of its ethnic, political, and economic patterns from the llanos region of Nueva Granada. Although the system's labor exactions were ultimately self-defeating, encomiendas around Santiago de las Atalayas in the Meta River basin lasted for a century from 1588-1684"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
