Searching for Agrarian Reform in Latin America (Thematic studies in Latin America)

Land tenure patterns reflect a society's structure at its most fundamental - for one class they signify power and prestige, for the other disenfranchisement and destitution. This collection of essays attempts to distil the lesson learned from 25 years of policy experience, examining the successes and failures of land reform efforts in Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Mexico, the Caribbean, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador. The book would be of interest to researchers in Latin America's society, policymakers and those practicing in the field of politics and development.
