Between Reform and Revolution: Political Struggles in the Peruvian Andes, 1969-1991 (Program in Agrarian Studies, Yale University)

This is the story of one of the most ambitious agrarian reforms in Latin American history. The book argues that the economic, political, and cultural dynamics set in motion by the reforms are central to understanding the brutal civil war that ensued in Peru between the state and the Maoist-Leninist Shining Path guerilla movement.
