At the time when land reform was a burning issue for most of these countries, Labourers and Landowners in Southern Spain (originally published in 1971), a penetrating sociological and economic analysis of the Spanish experience was particularly opportune. The book examines the tensions within wage-labour latifundism and describes the value-systems of both labourers and landowners. Profit-minded landowners should prefer to become \u003ci\u003erentier \u003c\/i\u003elandlords, but this would threaten the legitimacy of their position, which requires owner-operation. The labourers’ behaviour conforms with their image of society: ‘we who work’ are in conflict with the landowning classes, but nevertheless ‘we the poor \u003ci\u003emust\u003c\/i\u003e work’.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished originally in Spanish, this English edition has been rearranged and includes a new final chapter discussing Pitt-Rivers’ and Hobsbawm’s works on Andalusia, as well as dissecting Warriner’s \u003ci\u003eLand Reform in Principle and Practice\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57297679843672,"sku":"9781041339380","price":117.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781041339380.jpg?v=1779347763","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/labourers-and-landowners-in-southern-spain","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
