Summary: | Expansion of mining industry in contemporaneous Andalusia opened one of the scarce ways for many poor peasants to improve, even modestly, their material conditions of existence. Mines could get labour force from largely proletarianized rural masses as well as they contribute to proletarianization. Transitions were not linear: "ambiguous" working status of peasants-miners ("mixed" workers and small land owners-workers) were relatively frequent and sometimes lasting. Specially as long as mining employment was able to pull migrants and retain peasant emigration around mining areas. According to dates and places, Andalusia has known various situations in this regard, depending on mining characteristics, agro-social environments and different articulation between those two pillars of economic and social formations. This analysis is based on three unequally significant examples within mining Andalusia. |
