Abstract

The Sharecroppers' Revolt in the Lower Adour Valley during the 1920s. The lower Adour Valley experienced in 1920 a sharecroppers' revolt that revealed the socio-economic situation of the region. Within the limits of the canton of Peyrehorade, confronting demographical data with statistical information on agriculture and with notarial archives permits the research for possible correlations between farm yields, social movements and property transfers. Collective memory of these events maintains the souvenir of the double image of sharecroppers as victims of the archaism of their living and working conditions or as rebels, responsable for the social fear of owners.
