内容説明

Despite the attempts of a number of Latin American republics to redistribute land resources and carry out agrarian reform programmes, "the land question" remains a vital political issue throughout the region. This book focuses on Bolivia, where government proposals to replace a radical agrarian reform law of 1953 with a neo-liberal Ley INRA provoked heated public debate and violent campesino clashes with the police in September/October 1996. The first five chapters are largely concerned with theoretical aspects and a review of Bolivia's agrarian reform legislation - the remaining six chapters are devoted to analysis, from the viewpoints of participant campesinos and the research, of agricultural change in Aymara communities beside Lake Titicaca, where the author has conducted research over nearly 30 years. Lakeside farming is under threat as a result of land degradation, limited chaos resources, rural-urban migration, tourism and commuterization.
