16 About the preoccupations of enriched merchants with social prestige see Mario G?ra, Encomenderos y estancieros. Estudios acerca de la constituci?ocial aristocr?ca de Chile despu?de la Conquista 1580-1660, Santiago, Universitaria, 1970, 80-87. In his analysis of social urban stratification in colonial Chile, the same author refers to the expectative of honor the mixed race had and their efforts to obtain it through the military ranks in the 18th century. Though these ideas were not systematically developed in his writings, they constituted refreshing pints of view that obligated to center the attention of facets that gave color and mobility to the apparently quiet and grey colonial siesta. Mario G?ra, "Urban social stratifi­cation in colonial Chile", HAHR, 55 (3), august 1975, 440.
