Description
A CAPTIVE LAND is the first major work to address these questions, referring to previously unpublished Philippine and US government documents and drawing on interviews with government representatives, landowners and peasants. It offers a new and original analysis of the extent of landlessness, ownership, and poverty. It highlights the significance of the conflict between conservative and liberal approaches to reform.
