This dissertation develops and utilizes a methodology for combining data drawn from the manuscript census returns and the county tax rolls to study landless farmers during the period from 1850 until 1880 in three Texas Brazos River Valley counties: Fort Bend, Milam, and Palo Pinto. It focuses in particular on those landless farmers who appear to have had no option other than tenant farming. It concludes that there were such landless farmers throughout the period, although they were a relatively insignificant factor in the agricultural economy before the Civil War. During the Antebellum decade, poor tenant farmers were a higher proportion of the population on the frontier than in the interior, but throughout the period, they were found in higher numbers in the central portion of the river valley. White tenants generally avoided the coastal plantation areas, although by 1880, that pattern seemed to be changing. Emancipation had tremendous impact on both black and white landless farmers. Although both groups were now theoretically competing for the same resource, productive crop land, their reactions during the first fifteen years were so different that it suggests two systems of tenant farming divided by caste. As population expansion put increasing pressure on the land, the two systems began to merge on terms resembling those under which black tenants had always labored.

Between 1750 and 1850 the population of Sweden doubled. The increase was very unequally distributed among the different social groups of the rural population. The number of peasants grew very little, while the numbers of the landless (crofters, bordars etc.) more than quadrupled. This study examines whether Christer Winberg's thesis of the landless growth can be applied to Björklinge parish in Uppland. Winberg believes that it was mainly children of tenant farmers who became landless. Tax Farmers fell less often and less deeply. To be able to see any particular trends among tenant farmers, I also examine the social mobility of tax farmers. I have therefore chosen three villages with different tax-Axlunda and Gränby is of nobility nature while Hammarby is a village of a fiscal nature. The results show that the two tenant villages, Axlunda and Gränby had two different trends regarding social tenant farmers movement after 1821 onwards. The farmers in Axlunda experienced a strong downward social mobility, while the peasants in Gränby stayed on their farms to a greater extent. In Hammarby it differed significantly between the peasants. The farmers could both move up and down in the social hierarchy.

The Jatahy Farm was a property that along the 20th century had been through several manners of seizure; from 1925 to 1959 the farm was bought by the Companhia Mogiana de Estradas de Ferro, that extinguished the coffee plantation and in its place had started the pines and eucalyptus cultivation. In 1959 the Jatahy Farm had became a São Paulo State property and most of its area was turned into an experimental station focused on its local forest studies, resulting nowadays on an ecological station in which scientific researches and assisted environmental education are the only activities allowed. Although, thanks the seizure changes coffee farm to railway company property and then to a conservation area the working offers decreased and the Jatahy Farm s residents established out there since the time of coffee cultivation, soon by soon started leaving the place they used to live in. However, the multiplicity of meanings applied to the Jatahy Farm at the present, resulting from the effort on its conservation, are centered most on the sociability experienced in the past, when Jatahy Farm was a coffee farm. From that point on, this study is due to rebuild the collective memory of female and male Jatahy Farm s coffee workers, understanding Work in its multiple dimensions the work experienced in public and private circles as an analytical category, as way as Memory, Gender and, specifically, the Patriarchy concept. Consequently, this dissertation aims to discuss the gender differences existing on female and male memories, also considering the tenant farmers experiences as Italian immigrants. Reconstructing their life experiences throughout the Work as an analytical category is faced here as the ground zero for understanding sociabilities, representations and the multiplicity of meanings conferred to individual and collective life. Furthermore, the Gender category allows taking work, history and female opposed-power out off the invisibility, exploring the Patriarchy constructing and reconstructing process throughout time and, for that reason, its a-historical character. The time cut selected (1925-1959) is intended to include the periods in which Jatahy Farm was both a coffee farm and a Companhia Mogiana Railway property. The adopted research method was Oral History, by the possibilities it offers on registering and understanding remembrances, combined to other kinds of documents. The dialogue established amongst the variety of sources, oral and written, enhanced the relations on memory and history, which was focused on the local and regional historiography. The reconstruction of tenant farmers collective memory was also possible thanks to photographic sources, understood as a support for memories and the elaboration of affective maps by the deponents. / Este estudo analisa as lembranças de trabalhadoras e trabalhadores de uma antiga fazenda cafeeira do Nordeste Paulista, a Fazenda Jatahy, município de Luiz Antônio/SP. Esta fazenda passou por diferentes formas de apropriação da terra ao longo do século XX. Primeiramente, de 1925 a 1945, foi uma importante fazenda cafeeira do nordeste paulista. Posteriormente, de 1945 a 1959, foi comprada pela Companhia Mogiana de Estradas de Ferro, que substituiu o cultivo do café pelos de pinos e eucaliptos. Em 1959, esta área passou a ser gerida pelo Governo do Estado de São Paulo, que a transformou em uma estação experimental, intensificando a silvicultura. Atualmente, grande parte da área da antiga fazenda é uma estação ecológica estadual, onde apenas são permitidas as pesquisas científicas e atividades de educação ambiental monitoradas. Após essas diferentes formas de apropriação da terra fazenda cafeeira, estrada de ferro e, atualmente, área de preservação estadual os moradores e moradoras, que ali viviam à época do café, aos poucos abandonaram a área em virtude da diminuição da oferta de trabalho. Entretanto, as (re)significações da atual área de preservação centram-se, sobretudo, na sociabilidade de outrora, quando a área era uma fazenda cafeeira. A partir desta constatação, objetivou-se reconstruir a memória coletiva desses trabalhadores e trabalhadoras. Utilizam-se como categorias de análise o trabalho, compreendido em suas múltiplas dimensões o trabalho nas esferas pública e privada , a memória e o gênero, especificamente o patriarcado. Por conseguinte, visa-se a elencar as diferenças de gênero existentes na memória feminina e na masculina. A reconstrução das experiências dessas colonas e colonos por meio do trabalho é o ponto central para a compreensão da sociabilidade, das representações e das múltiplas (re)significações da vida individual e coletiva. Ademais, o crivo de gênero permite retirar da invisibilidade o trabalho, a história e o contra-poder femininos, analisando as construções e (re)construções do patriarcado, desmistificando, assim, seu caráter a-histórico. O recorte temporal abrange o período da fazenda cafeeira e da Companhia Mogiana (1925 a 1959). A metodologia utilizada é a história oral, que permitiu registrar tais lembranças. Somada a ela, fontes documentais foram utilizadas. O diálogo entre as fontes oral e escrita possibilitou realizar a relação entre memória e história, centrando-se, entretanto, na historiografia local e regional. A reconstrução da memória coletiva desses colonos e colonas edificou-se ainda por meio de fontes iconográficas, concebidas como detonadoras de lembranças, e de mapas afetivos.
