Plural of campesino; multiple peasants or rural farm workers, especially in Spanish-speaking countries.
Simple plural of the Spanish 'campesino', formed by changing the singular '-o' ending to '-os', maintaining the Spanish grammatical structure in English.
In 1960s revolutionary movements, 'campesinos' wasn't just a descriptive word—it became a political identity, with intellectuals idealizing the rural poor as authentic agents of historical change.
Plural form of 'campesino' inherits the masculine generic convention in Spanish, making female farmers linguistically invisible unless explicitly marked.
Prefer 'campesinos y campesinas' or use gender-neutral alternatives like 'agricultural workers' or 'rural communities' when gender composition is mixed or unknown.

Women constitute a significant portion of peasant farming globally; the masculine plural default historically undercounted their labor and land rights.
