In the perspective of the recent evolution of historiography concerning the rural history of colonial Argentina, Moreno analyzes the identity of the agricultural producers and of the rural workers and generally of the role played by the peasants in the rural economy. He shows that questions relating to demography and to the occupation of space have central part to play. This leads him also to define more precisely the models of agricultural production. 10 pages Source : Persée ; Ministère de la jeunesse, de l’éducation nationale et de la recherche, Direction de l’enseignement supérieur, Sous-direction des bibliothèques et de la documentation.
