Abstract

La derrota del rentista y el éxito de la explotación familiar agraria en Europa Occidental desde finales del siglo XIX ha significado una mejora de los derechos de los colonos, una pérdida de control de los propietarios sobre sus tierras, y a largo plazo, la consolidación de la propiedad en manos del colono. Sin embargo, en algunos casos, como el de la rabassa morta, estas mejoras no van acompañadas de la derrota del rentista, ni de la división de los derechos de propiedad. En este caso, el hecho de tratarse de una aparcería que requería la entrega de una parte de la cosecha explica que fuera compatible con la participación activa del propietario en la producción, su resistencia a las reformas y la intensa conflictividad asociada al contrato entre 1890 y 1936, en contraste con lo que encontramos en otras regiones españolas.
