Sumario: | This book examines the agrarian conflicts in Argentina during the 1970s, focusing on the emergence of the Agrarian Leagues. The author, Jorge Próspero Roze, explores the socio-economic conditions that led to these conflicts, particularly in the northeastern provinces of Chaco, Formosa, and Misiones. The text delves into the crisis in cotton production, which resulted in significant economic and social changes, including mechanization, urbanization, and the expulsion of small-scale farmers. Roze analyzes the class struggles within the agrarian sector, highlighting the roles of different segments of rural society, from subsistence farmers to the rural proletariat. The book provides a critical perspective on the organization and struggles of the Agrarian Leagues, contributing to broader debates about rural social movements and the existence of campesinos in Argentina. Intended for scholars and students of Argentine history, sociology, and rural studies, it brings a novel angle to the understanding of class dynamics in the Argentine countryside.
