ROJAS ROJAS, Sonia Esmeralda. An unlevel playfield: Rural social factors in detriment of the Colombian peasantry. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.32, pp.884-904.  Epub 01-Oct-2020. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.594.

This article sets out to analyze the unlevel points of Colombian peasantry's rural social playfield. To this end, it identified, examined, analyzed, and related the variables that influence the imbalance of the social playfield in Colombian rural areas to evaluate their consequences for peasants. It also identified ways to level the playing field from the dimensions of sustainable development. Three factors (and variables) were determined that generate imbalances, the identity factor, the production factor, and dignity. These factors and their interrelationship unlevel the rural social playfield, adversely impacting the peasants' opportunities of quality of life. Furthermore, approaches are proposed to diminish this imbalance.

Palabras clave : agricultural worker; cultural identity; rural development; rural population; social inequality; sustainable development.
