Peon (English spelling) peón [Spain]

Japanese: ペオン(英語表記)peón[スペイン]
Peon (English spelling) peón [Spain]
Generally, it refers to agricultural laborers in Latin America, but in the narrow sense, it means an indebted peon who is in debt to the hacienda. The hacienda provided advances to the laborers and sold on credit to its own stores, and secured the labor force through the accumulation of these debts. In Mexico, the peons made up almost the entire labor force of the haciendas from independence until the eve of the Mexican Revolution. They became the main force during the Mexican Revolution. Peons are broadly divided into permanent peons who are given a small piece of land within the hacienda and are rented, and temporary peons.

Japanese:
一般的にはラテン・アメリカにおける農業労働者を指すが,狭義ではアシエンダに対して債務を負う債務ペオンpeón endeudadoを意味する。アシエンダは労働者に前貸しおよび直営売店の掛売りを行い,その債務累積によって労働力を確保した。とくにメキシコではペオンは独立以降,メキシコ革命前夜までのアシエンダにおける労働力のほとんどすべてであった。メキシコ革命のとき彼らが主力部隊となった。ペオンはアシエンダ内に小片の土地を貸与される定住ペオンと臨時雇いペオンに大別される。
