Gauchos et peones du Río de la Plata. Réflexions sur l'histoire rurale de l'Argentine coloniale

Gauchos and Peons in Rio de la Plata. Reflexions on Rural History in Colonial Argentina. In the perspective of the recent evolution of historiography concerning the rural history of colonial Argentina, Moreno analyzes the identity of the agricultural producers and of the rural workers and generally of the role played by the peasants in the rural economy. He shows that questions relating to demography and to the occupation of space have central part to play. This leads him also to define more precisely the models of agricultural production.Moreno José Luis, Diaz-Chauvigné Anne. Gauchos et peones du Río de la Plata.
