Abstract


This article discusses some of the reactions of the rural land-less workers (peones) and tenants (inquilinos) to the unemployment in the Chilean Araucanía Region, during the Great Depression. Furthermore, the paper wants to review the conceptions about the supposed passivity of the tenants, showing the rural workers’ associations created around the ‘1930s, as much as the non-institutional and illegal responses (cattle-lifting, petty robbery, popular sacking). Here are mentioned too the urban influences detected in this process, as much as the importance of the national political realm in the building of these rural workers associations.
