MUNOZ-SANCHEZ, Víctor M.. Stages of social stratification in andalusian rice-farming municipalities (1920-2015). agric. soc. desarro [online]. 2017, vol.14, n.1, pp.23-45. ISSN 1870-5472.

The main objective of this article was the elaboration of a chronology of the stages undergone by social stratification in Andalusian rice-farming municipalities. For this purpose, studies about the zone from the perspective of other scientific disciplines have been revised. Four stages are proposed (foreign colonization, dictatorial, modernizing, and of globalization towards an uncertain future), which will allow performing empirical studies about other rural contexts with these same conditions. The principal conclusions point to the deep mutation that is materialized in four stages (foreign colonization, dictatorial, modernizing and globalized), characterized by their notable differences in the stratification of rice-farming municipalities which make it a very dynamic social structure subject to a constant process of change associated to the agro-social levels themselves.

Keywords : rice; social structure; social change; settlement.
