Abstract

The objective of this article is to understand the labor relations established on coffee plantations between farmers and rural workers (generically called colonos) between 1917 and 1937, a period in which, due to government intervention in the coffee market (coffee defenses) and the existence of highly vulnerable legislation regarding large-scale land appropriation in new areas, there was a rapid process of expansion of the agricultural frontier in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Our main documentary source was 2,047 deeds of contracts for the formation and management of coffee plantations drawn up in fourteen municipalities in the interior of São Paulo.
