A peasant is a member of a traditional class of farmers, either laborers or owners of small farms, especially in the Middle Ages under feudalism, or more generally, in any pre-industrial society. In Europe, peasants were divided into three classes according to their personal status: slave, serf, and free tenant. Peasants either hold title to land in fee simple, or hold land by any of several forms of land tenure, among them socage, quit-rent, leasehold, and copyhold.
The word "peasant" is—and long has been—often used pejoratively to refer to poor or landless farmers and agricultural workers, especially in the poorer countries of the world in which the agricultural labor force makes up a large percentage of the population. The implication of the term is that the "peasant" is uneducated, ignorant, and unfamiliar with the more sophisticated mannerisms of the urban population.
The word "peasant" is also commonly used in a non-pejorative sense as a collective noun for the rural population in the poor and under-developed countries of the world.

Paolo Tedesco: The Rise and Fall of North Africa’s Peasantry
The Rise and Fall of North Africa’s Peasantry: A Study in Formal Subordination
Paolo Tedesco, University of Tübingen
This paper traces the rise and fall of the North African peasantry between the fourth and the seventh century CE.
Building on Brent Shaw’s seminal study Bringing in the Sheaves: Economy and Metaphor in the Roman World, I argue that Late Antiquity was the highpoint of African wage labour participation in the Roman imperial economy. In this period, the percentage of wage labour as part of the economically active population rose consistently. This process is observable elsewhere in the Mediterranean and the Middle East in the fifth to the seventh century.
While Shaw’s study correctly identifies the main motors of wage employment and organization of agriculture in the dynamics ...

In this period, the percentage of wage labour as part of the economically active population rose consistently. This process is observable elsewhere in the Mediterranean and the Middle East in the fifth to the seventh century.
While Shaw’s study correctly identifies the main motors of wage employment and organization of agriculture in the dynamics of the local ecology and harvest cycles, this paper claims that the late antique monetary revolution determined a major re-organization of rural labour forces. Without altering the predominance of a mixed labour regime (that pulled together tenants, slaves, and wage-labourers under the legal framework of the "colonate"), the penetration of money in rural areas generated a polarization between two main social classes. These were defined by factors of land or capital on the one hand, and of labour, on the other. The result of this was an increased subordination of peasant labour to coercion, debt bondage relation, involuntary retention, and, at times, "proletarianization".
