AGRICULTURE AND LAND OWNERSHIP

Agriculture and land ownership in Galicia.

The work done on property and agriculture in Galicia starts with my thesis La desamortización del clero regular en Pontevedra, 1836-1843 (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, 1990).

An extended version of it won the Humanities Award of the Pontevedra Provincial Council (1991). It was published as A desamortización de Mendizábal na provincia de Pontevedra, 1836-1844, Pontevedra, Deputación Provincial, 1993.

My studies on the Public Treasury connect with this line of research, as I have dealt with the taxation of agriculture in contemporary Spain.

The last major paper I wrote on this subject was the state of the art on disentailment studies in Galicia: Vallejo Pousada, Rafael (2021), "Ramón Villares e o estudio da desamortización en Galicia, 1955-2016: un balance historiográfico... e unha achega", en Artiaga, A. et. Alii, Á volta do tempo. Estudos de Historia Contemporánea, Vigo, Edicións Xerais, pp. 295-332 [ISBN: 978-84-9121-983-5].
