Revolt in Anta
Peasant revolt in Anta, Cuzco, in 1930, as part of a series of uprisings against the land system in the southern Andes at the beginning of the 20th century. It was part of a period of intense peasant mobilization in Cuzco and Puno between 1911 and 1930.
The Anta revolt in 1930 was part of a series of peasant uprisings that occurred in Cuzco and Puno at the beginning of the 20th century. This period, between 1885 and 1930, was characterized by the expansion of the commercial houses of Arequipa and the haciendas of Cuzco and Puno, whose base was the extensive exploitation of pastures, cattle and shepherds in the interior. The peasant revolts of this period reflected the resistance against the system of landowning and landlord exploitation that dominated the Andean South. The Anta revolt was part of a context of multiple peasant mobilizations that also included uprisings in Azángaro, Canas, Espinar, Ccapna and Lauramarca during the first decades of the 20th century.
