Sumario:This article presents the first results of a research that aims to identify the turning point of the debates about the consequences of slavery in the lives of Brazilian rural workers. As we have presented in other works, between the immediate years after the abolition and the 1960s, debates about black identity and the recent slavery past of rural workers were recurrent in Brazilian society. We analyze the construction of the concept of “peasant” by the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB), in Terra Livre, A Classe Operária e Problemas: revista mensal de cultura política, in the works of the main pecebist theorists and in the resolutions of the congresses of the party. We believe this is a fundamental exercise for understanding the peculiarities of the historical formation of the Brazilian peasantry.
