| Résumé anglais |
From an interview collected in situ in 1966, in this work, the achievements and projects of a migrant family of Spanish origin, from the region of Navarre, which evolved in Argentina in the last decade of the nineteenth century, is evoked. It was installed in the southwest of Pampa, in an area of salty soil with climates alternating between extreme aridity and in recent decades with overflowing rainfall that temporarily hinder any agricultural or animal production. The oral history serves as a testimony of the presence of these people who forged the first fruits for an agro-export agriculture in units of exploitation or 'chacras' whose surfaces oscillated between 200 and 400 hectares. Most of these chacareros began as land tenants that the great estancias of the zone were renting them to realize their crops. Many of them, as in the case exemplified here, later became proprietors: the nuclear family had favoured them with a number of sons who jointly developed the family business. The third generation of these families, mostly, migrate from rural areas. Source : Éditeur (via OpenEdition Journals) |
