Abstract

From the 16th century to the 20th century, from the Spanish conquest (or the European invasion) to the current Agrarian Reform, peasant movements have periodically convulsed the Andean area. In Peru, in most cases, they have only been localized riots in which the dominant spontaneity has reduced the permanence or effectiveness of the uprising. On other occasions, the riots have spread throughout an entire region. There have also been large-scale uprisings that, mobilizing large peasant masses, have substantially questioned the dominant structures in Peruvian agriculture. The peasant movements manifest the protest and irritation generated by social systems that the peasants consider unjust; but also, with the clear language of praxis, they show certain conceptions of the world, the elements of a certain culture, which encourages or enables these rebellions. In this way, the peasant movements are a significant component of the Peruvian peasantry and the study of these events can allow us to approach the knowledge of that same peasantry in another way.
