This paper examines conflict over labour-power, and argues for its centrality to an understanding of class struggle taking place in the Peruvian province of La Convencion during the pre- and post-reform era. Initially, this conflict involved landlord and tenants over the issue of labour-rent. When additional land became available as a result of the expropriation of the landlord class, the implementation of the agrarian reform deprived the peasant enterprise of labour-power necessary for its cultivation. The increasingly acute struggle between different peasant strata for access to and control over labour-power in the post-reform period accordingly involved the intensification of the debt bondage mechanism and avoidance of political office-holding by better-off peasants. |
