Abstract (English): This article traces the history of estate landholding in the Andean valley of Antapampa over the first half of the twentieth century. It challenges a long-held and widely accepted belief that highland haciendas concentrated vast tracts of land in just a few hands. Rather, by the middle of the last century, many properties had fragmented into numerous more modest holdings. Others either held very little land at all, found themselves severely restricted by the mountainous terrain, or ceded most, sometimes all, of their possessions to a rapidly growing number of tenant farmers. The relative absence of mass land concentration, then, forces us to reconsider the role of a key institution in the countryside, in Peru, in Latin America and even beyond. To do so, this study draws upon extensive and original archival materials from roughly 300 Ministry of Agriculture case files, rarely, if ever, used before. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Este artículo rastrea la historia de la tenencia de la tierra en el valle andino de Antapampa durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. Desafía una creencia arraigada y ampliamente aceptada de que las haciendas de las tierras altas concentraban vastas extensiones de tierra en unas pocas manos. Más bien, a mediados del siglo pasado, muchas propiedades se habían fragmentado en numerosas pertenencias más modestas. Otras o poseían muy poca tierra, o se vieron severamente restringidas por el terreno montañoso, o cedieron la mayor parte o todas sus posesiones a un número cada vez mayor de agricultores arrendatarios. La relativa ausencia de una concentración masiva de la tierra, entonces, nos obliga a reconsiderar el papel de una institución clave en el campo, en Perú, en América Latina, y más allá. Para hacer esto, este estudio se basa en materiales de archivo extensos y originales de aproximadamente 300 expedientes de casos del Ministerio de Agricultura, que rara vez, o nunca, se han utilizado antes.

Abstract (Portuguese): Este artigo traça a história da propriedade de terras no vale andino de Antapampa durante a primeira metade do século XX. Ele desafia uma crença amplamente aceita há muito tempo de que as fazendas nas terras altas concentravam vastas extensões de terra em apenas algumas mãos. Em vez disso, em meados do século passado, muitas propriedades haviam se fragmentado em inúmeras pertenças mais modestas. Outras possuíam pouquíssimas terras, encontraram-se severamente limitadas pelo terreno montanhoso, ou cederam a maior parte, às vezes todas, de suas posses a um número crescente de fazendeiros arrendatários. A relativa ausência de concentração maciça de terras nos obriga então a reconsiderar o papel de uma instituição fundamental no campo, no Peru, na América Latina e não só. Para fazer isto, este estudo se baseia em materiais de arquivo extensos e originais de aproximadamente 300 processos do Ministério da Agricultura que raramente, ou nunca, foram utilizados antes.
