Process of Change in Rural Castilian Communities.
After enumerating the main characteristics of Castilian villages and their peasant populations, this article describes the process by which "traditional" rural society, which emerged in the last half of the 19th century, has been gradually obliterated by urban and industrial development. Among the many factors responsible for the collapse of traditional society, rural emigration served as a catalyst for economic and social transformations. Mechanization, which favored and was favored by emigration changed the concept and content of work and intensified rural and urban-industrial relations. It also affected the social structure by blurring previously clear status gaps between workers and peasants and by encouraging the formation of agrarian cooperatives, which ideologically seem communalist or collectivistic but which are in fact defined in particularistic and capitalistic terms. The repercussions of these transformations on family life are described, the analysis focussing on the educational system and the habitat, and stressing the changes provoked in the perception and values systems of rural communities. After defining the importance of the Civil War for the Castilian peasants, this article shows to what extent their present political attitudes are influenced by the increasing secularization and urbanization of rural life and speculates on the future political evolution of these peasants on their way to becoming small capitalistic farmers.
