My favourite subject is Rural Anthropology. This subject started with the history of the "hacienda" in Chile. This part is quite boring because is really slow. After that, we studied the agrary reform and this is the most interesting part because it explains how rural world works now. And here we see how different were the reforms depending on the president, how Alessandri started a really lazy reform that Frei made more radical and had a big impact. After this, with the president Allende, this reform was totally radicall and the rural workers take a lot of power.
This subjetc includes go to the fields, some rural place were years ago an hacienda existed there, and interview people to rebuild the history of the agrary reform.
I like this subject because first the teacher is great. He explains the subject he has been investigating for a lot of years. The things we study here are interesting because, after this class i never question this history before and the rural life is a lot more common that what we know.
So i invite all of you to learn a little bit more of the rural history :)
