Abstract

Peasant villages have historically been forgotten in Colombia, it is they who concentrate poverty and NBI levels; these communities are living in the midst of war and its victims, causing mass displacement. Since government policies, Colombia is the only Latin American country that hasnot carried out an agrarian reform, on the other hand many of the reforms are detrimental to the economy and rural culture, benefiting in different economic models to support the power. Despite this, the rural cultural identity persists against the predictions of extinction, is renewed, evolving, adapting to new dynamic socio-economic and technological. The article tries to make a theoretical analysis versus how peasant culture persists and changes within the new dynamics of social protest and how, and technological society in the agricultural strike particles of Boyacá, it is evidence of this.
