Entre 1972 et 1975, paysans et ouvriers ont lutté contre l’essor des plantations de café et les revendications des métayers. Leur combat met en lumière l’importance culturelle et politique de la terre, opposant les perspectives autochtones aux dynamiques de pouvoir de la classe dirigeante.

As arresting as the most hard-hitting manifesto, this work of nonfiction also reverberates with folk songs calling for emancipation and change. Exhorting the underclasses to stop making the rich fat and sharpen their scythes instead, Peasants is made in the name of the people and for the people.
