Etymology

Campesino is a Spanish language term referring to a farmer or farmworker. A possible English language equivalent term is peasant, with connotations of subsistence or simple farming that aims to survive rather than generate a profit; however, campesino lacks the negative connotations that are associated with the term peasant. In the Hispanic world, many people referred to as campesinos survive using subsistence farming, whereas subsistence farming almost entirely died out in the Anglophone world.

However, in social studies, a more rigorous approach differentiates between campesino (peasant) and granjero (farmer), the former being subject to some sort of unfair domination or exploitation and the latter an independent producer for subsistence, the market, or both.

The term guajiro, which is American Spanish for "rustic,"[1] is a synonym for campesino in Cuba,[2] where it is also related to Guajira (music).
