| description | Since the second half of the 20th century, a series of quick transformations took place in Ecuador. Agrarian reform laws in 1964 and 1973, framed by the Green Revolution, changed the scenery and actors in the rural world. Modernization in the rural areas left gamonalismo (authoritative wealthy landownership) in the highlands and sharecropping in the coast, largely behind, in order to adapt labor and social relations to the capitalist system. Peasant economies resisted to a model of development that was alien to their rationality, and soon, the peasantry that had struggled for their land created a new rural proletariat within the modern agricultural farming backdrop. Some peasant groups united to form agricultural cooperatives that, in some way or another, would open their possibilities for survival. The study case of the peasant organization UROCAL (Regional Union of Coastal Peasant Organizations) is representative of the alleged changes put forward in the rural world, particularly in the southern coast of Ecuador. |

Since the second half of the 20th century, a series of quick transformations took place in Ecuador. Agrarian reform laws in 1964 and 1973, framed by the Green Revolution, changed the scenery and actors in the rural world. Modernization in the rural areas left gamonalismo (authoritative wealthy landownership) in the highlands and sharecropping in the coast, largely behind, in order to adapt labor and social relations to the capitalist system. Peasant economies resisted to a model of development that was alien to their rationality, and soon, the peasantry that had struggled for their land created a new rural proletariat within the modern agricultural farming backdrop.

The study case of the peasant organization UROCAL (Regional Union of Coastal Peasant Organizations) is representative of the alleged changes put forward in the rural world, particularly in the southern coast of Ecuador. A partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX se iniciaban en Ecuador una serie de aceleradas transformaciones en todos los ámbitos. Las reformas agrarias de 1964 y 1973, en el marco de la “revolución verde”, cambiaron los escenarios y los actores del mundo rural. La modernización del campo dejó atrás, en buena medida, el gamonalismo serrano y las aparcerías en la Costa, para ir adecuando las relaciones laborales y sociales al sistema capitalista. Las economías campesinas resintieron de un modelo de desarrollo ajeno a su racionalidad y pronto el campesinado, que había luchado por la tierra, conformó un nuevo proletariado rural en las modernas explotaciones agrícolas. Ciertos grupos de campesinos se mancomunaron en torno a cooperativas agrícolas, lo que de una u otra manera abriría posibilidades para su supervivencia. El estudio de caso de la organización campesina UROCAL (Unión Regional de Organizaciones Campesinas del Litoral) es representativo de los cambios aducidos en el mundo rural ecuatoriano, especialmente en la Costa austral del país.
