Sumario:In the last decades, the historiography of the rural world in the State of Rio Grande do Sul (located in the extreme south of Brazil), has achieved considerable progress, particularly that focused in the 19th century. Throughout that period, this region shared characteristics with other areas of Brazil, slavery among them, which had last until the near end of the century. But it also shared similarities with the Rio de la Plata (River Plate) regions, such as immigrant agricultural colonies and widespread livestock farming. This article emphasizes the role of research on the agrarian structure and access to productive factors. In addition, it tries, at least, to offer an outline of other areas, such as land distribution issues, and forms of rural labor.
