DEVINE, Jennifer A.; OJEDA, Diana e YIE GARZON, Soraya Maite. Current Peasant Formations in Latin America: Conceptualizations, Political Subjects, and Territories in Dispute. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2020, n.40, pp.3-25. ISSN 1900-5407. https://doi.org/10.7440/antipoda40.2020.01.
Despite the centrality in the study of the peasantry in Latin America, for various disciplines, this category is still bound to static images of a group defined according to the State and capital. In this article, we explain the need to study the situated reality - historically, geographically and politically - of the individuals and groups that fit into this category of the peasantry. The issue concerning peasants is a pressing one in view of the current economic, political and socio-environmental crisis affecting large sectors of the Latin American population. This crisis is due, among other dynamics, to the advance of extractivism, the exacerbation of inequality, environmental deterioration, the dispossession of marginalized communities, and criminalization of the social movement. In order to further the critical analysis of this issue, from a historical, spatial, relational, and political perspective, we will delve into recent conceptualizations of the peasant, and into how political subjects and spatialities are mutually constructed.
