Ernest Feder

4.9/5 (14959 ratings)

Description:This seminal book is essential to an understanding of Latin American society. This is the first comprehensive analysis of Latin America’s antiquated landholding system, and its adverse effects on the people of that continent. The author discusses the subsistence living conditions of 86 million peasants, the intense concentration of landholdings among the wealthy elite, the overcrowded labor markets, outdated technology, and frequent violence that characterize the agricultural sector.The author’s thesis is that the large landholdings—the latifundios—result not only in gross injustice to millions of people, but also in a counter-productive agricultural system, which has prevented progress in the entire continent. Professor Feder also analyzes many of the “solutions” which have been proposed, from piecemeal land reforms to improved technology. This book argues very persuasively that only a broad-scale redistribution of the land to the peasants through land reforms will ease plight of the Latin America’s unfortunate peasantry.—from the back cover of the bookCover design by Jim McWilliamsIncludes a Glossary and an IndexThe Anchor Books edition is the first English language publication of The Rape of the PeasantryA Doubleday Anchor Original, A 794We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
