El campesino desposeido

"Analyzes methods of integrating peasant agriculture into the global system, including new technology, distinct market relations, and State policies. Asserts that these factors weaken peasant economic and social structures, leading to dispossession of land and loss of culture and autonomy. Calls for alternative forms of development focusing on decentralization, peasant autonomy, and reconception of technology"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
