Agrarian histories: present and future challenges for land and labor disputes
El CLACSO Working Group on Agrarian Histories: present and future challenges for land and labor disputes It brings together a group of researchers and social activists from Latin America challenged by the disputes surrounding land and agricultural work from a historical perspective.
The group's challenge is to move beyond national perspectives, both in terms of research and the relationship between universities, social movements, and public policy. We aim to explore the connections, patterns, and dialogues among individuals, families, and communities who work the land and experience daily the advance of agribusiness and large corporations that contest, appropriate, and reshape agricultural space.
Ultimately, guided by the need for historical reflection, the 2026-2028 work agenda of the Working Group on Agrarian Histories aims to reconstruct and systematize the structure of land tenure, the heterogeneous agrarian social formation, the regulatory frameworks, and the conflicts that arose around the uses, customs, and rights of rural Latin American communities. These investigations into the past will be fundamental inputs for understanding our present, planning actions, and proposing policies necessary to transform the future of millions of people.
