There has been considerable controversy amongst social and economic
historians, anthropologists, economists, sociologists, political
scientists and other specialists concerning the nature and
structure of Latin American agrarian society. An increasing number
of studies have come to challenge the traditionally accepted view
that the backwardness of rural Latin America and its resistance to
'modernisation' are due to the persistence of feudal or non-feudal
forms of social and economic organisation. Instead attention has
shifted to an examination of the social and economic dislocations
resulting from attempts to impose capitalist forms of agrarian
enterprise on peasant or pre-capitalist societies. This book of
essays by an international group of scholars represents a
substantial empirical contribution to the ongoing debate. This book
will be of interest not only to specialists in the field, but also
to anyone wishing to understand the historical processes underlying
contemporary Latin America's complex land tenure and rural
employment problems.
