Our analysis of the written record, which was combined with fieldwork, enabled us to identify the agricultural areas used by both communities. Our examination of the distribution of land ownership has revealed that Morisco and Castilian fields formed separate compact blocks, and that the larger and flatter plots of land were owned by Castilians. We have also noted that the property of Moriscos tended to be fragmented into small plots, which must have prevented any single Morisco landowner from amassing large, compact blocks of land. The expulsion of the Moriscos in 1570 triggered a tendency towards the concentration of land in fewer hands.Cet article présente les résultats de la recherche menée dans deux villes de la vallée de l'Alto Genal (Málaga, Espagne) où cohabitaient des paysans morisques et castillans pendant la majeure partie du XVIe siècle. L'analyse des sources écrites en combinaison avec le travail sur le terrain a permis d'identifier les espaces agraires utilisées par les deux communautés. La répartition des différents biens fonciers montre deux types de possession bien distincts entre les champs des morisques et ceux des castillans. Il paraît que les champs vastes de la plaine appartiennent plutôt aux castillans, tandis que les petits champs fragmentés étaient en mains des morisques. La distribution fragmentée des possessions des morisques a - sans aucun doute - freiné la formation de propriétés étendues et compactes entre les mains d'un seul propriétaire et l'expulsion des morisques, en 1570, a certainement accéléré ce processus de concentration.Sidestone Press 22019-01-0120192019-01-01Capítol de llibrehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_3248VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPartapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/296775reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengAgencia Estatal de Investigación https://doi.org/10.13039/501100011033 HAR2017-82157-P"la Caixa" Foundation https://doi.org/10.13039/100010434 LCF/BQ/ES15/10360007open accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest material està protegit per drets d'autor i/o drets afins.
