Competing understandings of agrarian reform shaped ideas of property, productivity, welfare, and justice. Peasants embraced the nationalist slogan of \"land for those who work it\" and rehabilitated national union structures. Indigenous communities proclaimed instead \"land to its original owners\" and sought to link the ruling party discourse on nationalism with their own long-standing demands for restitution. Landowners, for their part, embraced the principle of \"land for those who improve it\" to protect at least portions of their former properties from expropriation. Carmen Soliz combines analysis of governmental policies and national discourse with everyday local actors' struggles and interactions with the state to draw out the deep connections between land and people as a material reality and as the object of political contention in the period surrounding the revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carmen Soliz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822946653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822946656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Carmen Soliz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982939980031,"sku":"9780822946656","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b68bdd6a-45a8-43ec-b3a4-abe37d6ffbd8.jpg?v=1683263795","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fields-of-revolution-carmen-soliz-9780822946656","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
