| Sumario: | The essential contradiction of capitalism in Latin America has been about possession of land and its income, and it put work and capital together in the form of antagonism peasantry/ agro-export bourgeoisie. The central performance of peasantry as a social class in a continent sealed by its insertion in the global market as a raw materials producer, has not been taken into account in most of historiographical approaches, in which prevailed ethnocentric standards linked to the epistemological paradigm of modernity. In this article we have intended to understand why within historical materialism and political parties oriented to revolution, peasantry is rejected as a valid subject for radical social change, even in Latin America, where the essential capitalism contradiction is about land. |
