Agrarian reform and the struggle for labour‐power: A Peruvian case study
研究了秘鲁拉孔本西翁省在土地改革前后围绕劳动力的阶级冲突，初期是地主与佃农的劳役地租之争，改革后则演变为不同农民阶层对劳动力的争夺，并伴随债务奴役加剧。
This paper examines conflict over labour‐power, and argues for its centrality to an understanding of class struggle taking place in the Peruvian province of La Convención during the pre‐ and post‐reform era. Initially, this conflict involved landlord and tenants over the issue of labour‐rent. When additional land became available as a result of the expropriation of the landlord class, the implementation of the agrarian reform deprived the peasant enterprise of labour‐power necessary for its cultivation. The increasingly acute struggle between different peasant strata for access to and control over labour‐power in the post‐reform period accordingly involved the intensification of the debt bondage mechanism and avoidance of political office‐holding by better‐off peasants.
