laws that prohibit western-style clothing  

Explanation:

In cultural anthropology, cross-cultural diffusion is a concept introduced by Leo Frobenius in his work Der westafrikanische Kulturkreis (1897/98), which refers to the expansion of the use of objects, ideas, styles, religions, technology, languages, etc. between people of different cultures. It is a different process from the diffusion of innovations within a specific culture, since cross-cultural dissemination always involves more than one culture. The phenomenon can occur by voluntary adoption, by imitation, or by cultural imposition.

that was the type of government the spanish colonists were used to.
