What is in this issue?

HAAL 1:2 opens with an article by Henrique Sobral Silva and Marina Mesquita Camisasca about the didactic experience in teaching an undergraduate course that explored the agrarian question under dictatorships, mainly the Estado Novo (1937-1945) and the military dictatorship (1964-1985). 

 

Antonio Escobar Ohmstede offers in the issue’s second article new historiographical questions about the meaning of social justice following the 1910 Mexican Revolution, observing how rural people understood new land endowments, solved boundary conflicts with neighbors, and redefined their identities in the process.

 

Diana Henao and Lorena Campuzano’s article analyzes the conflicts between farmers, mining companies, and mazamorreros (independent miners or barequeros) in Northeast Antioquia between 1930 and 1950 to understand the problematic coexistence of ideas of public and private resource ownership and the role of the state in their regulation. 

 

Returning to Mexico, Yennifer Camargo Bonilla shows that entrepreneurial agriculture in the Mexican lowlands was consolidated thanks to new technologies - irrigation systems and machinery - which had an impact on productivity, the expansion of the agricultural frontier, and the diversification of the crop pattern. 

 

Taylor Fulkerson examines the Ecclesiastical Agrarian Reform between 1963 and 1971 in Cusco, Peru, when the Church alienated most of its lands, anticipating Velasco's agrarian reform and the new option for the poor of the post-conciliar Church.

 

To close, Silvia Cristina Vasquez Olguin places Costa Rican agrarian history within the Central American experience by analyzing the Costa Rican agrarian policy on peasant settlements through the history of the Bagatzí and Falconiana settlements in Guanacaste, describing the tensions that arose through proposed Israeli cooperation and the state’s goals regarding settlements and the class nature of Costa Rican agrarian policy.
