Memory, Identity and Peasantry: weaving Today’s and Yesterday’s Geographies on Land

Abstract

This paper aims to explain the value of the memory and identity studies to Geography, focusing on the making peasantry as a class with an own identity, built along fights. Employing historians and anthropologists’ works, we search to conceptualize memory and identity to discuss peasantry and their relations, especially in the struggle for land and territory.
