Abstract

In the Galicia of the first third of the past century, the remesas sent by the emigrants in Cuba, the economic development and the sindical and political activism of the habaneros returned contributed to the modernization of the sociedade rural during the first third of the past century. Those cubans reversed in innovative economic activities and took part in the mobilization antiforal and anticaciquil of the agricultural societies in the 1910s. After they were conserved and some finished supporting to the CEDA during the Second Republic or being a member of Falange Spanish. They also assumed places of local power during the postwar period. This is demonstrated in the microanalysis investigations carried out in different Galician municipalities that we deal with in this study.
