Spanish term

dependientes

Spanish to English Social Sciences History
This is a text about the exploitation of Indigenous peoples by the Spanish and then the independent nation in Argentina:

Usurpadas sus tierras, operó entonces un nuevo despojo: fueron sometidos a un nuevo orden ya no como indios, sino bajo otras categorías que expresaban la desigualdad. Quedaron cautivos dentro de las estancias, haciendas y fincas de sus anteriores encomenderos y vecinos estancieros, que acapararon sus tierras. Pasaron de ser encomendados y tributarios a ser “arrenderos”, “agregados”, “gente de servicio”, “dependientes”. Dejaron de figurar como indios en los padrones y censos, y pasaron a figurar como peones, criados, sirvientes.

Spanish term (edited): dependiente/s

indentured servant/s

Indentured does not always mean a contract has been signed up tp to or imposed, rather figuratively that a master-indentured servant relationship exists.
Example sentence:

An indentured servant or indentured laborer is an employee (indenturee) within a system of unfree labor who is bound by a signed or forced contract (indenture)

An indentured servant or indentured laborer is an employee (indenturee) within a system of unfree labor who is bound by a signed or forced contract (indenture) to work without pay for the owner of the indenture for a period of time.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Francois Boye : is it true in this context?

Dependiente literally means an employee and, in the UK, would be subject to an employer-employee 'control test'. These native Indians would have been unlikely to have been offered a contract of employment, rather been treated as 'indentured' labo/u/r.
