Portuguese term or phrase: contingentes camponeses
Hi everyone, this term appears towards the end of an essay discussing fatalism. I've found 'peasant' for 'campones' but am not sure if that is appropriate. To US English. Thanks for your help!

Fatalismo e a sociedade atual
Em geral, as análises sobre o fatalismo abordam situações marcadas por pobreza ou pela existência de **contingentes camponeses** submetidos às relações sociais rígidas impostas por latifundiários (Blanco & Díaz, 2007; Freire, 2005; Martín-Baró, 1973; Urreiztieta, 2000). Deste modo, poder-se-ia chegar à conclusão de que o conceito de fatalismo perdeu importância, já que hoje se vive em um mundo marcado por globalização e redução de relações sociais rígidas e normativas.
