Abstract
The purpose of this article, is to analyze the contribution made by the French anarchist-geographer (Élisée Reclus) on specific issues related to the agrarian question. For this, from the vast work of the libertarian intellectual, the political and geographic texts were selected, which he approached with greater private appropriation of the land and the peasant question based on the atrocious assumptions. Among the results, the importance of unity and the centrality of the struggle of workers (rural and urban) against the State and capital and the potential of peasants as agents and protagonists of this process stand out.
Highlights
French anarchist Jacques Élisée Reclus (1830 - 1905) is considered one of the most important geographers of the nineteenth century and produced a vast corpus on topics related to geographic science, sociology, and the foundations of anarchist thought
The social and territorial impacts of the expansion of private land ownership in the nineteenth century were the thread for various interpretations of the agrarian issue in capitalism
It is important to highlight the pioneering spirit of the anarchists in the creation of a collectivist project that proposed alternatives to the conflict established in the countryside, which was deliberated, debated, and proposed almost two decades before the socialists did so, in which Reclus actively participated
