Cantos e gritos da terra: campesinos e proprietários rurais nos processos de reforma e contrarreforma agrária do Chile (1958-1990)

Abstract

In this work is discussed the process of agrarian reform and counter agrarian reform occurred in Chile between 1960 and 1990. Initially there is a reflection about the agrarian reform process developed during the government of Jorge Alessandri (1958-1964), Eduardo Frei (1964-1970) and Salvador Allende (1970-1973). In sequence, there is an evaluation on the effort for reversion of the executed process during the regime led by general Augusto Pinochet between 1973 and 1990. The aim is not to comprehend the movements as homogeneous, but to observe their internal divergences which sometimes lead to interorganizational breaks. On occasion, there will be compared the agrarian reform and counter reform development in central and south Chile, among the conflicts between landowners and mapuche population in the struggle for land ownership. In this way we are able to weight the indigenous theme in this region, which would lead to consequences in the national landscape.
