description: A team of social scientists and historians examine the relationship of agrarian structures to social and political structures and processes in Latin American during the 19th and 20th centuries. They balance models that show patterns and generalizations, with an acknowledgment of the diversity of historical experience. Among the topics are landlord and campesino in Chili, the Buenos Aires landed class 1820-1930, agrarian movements and national politics in 19th-century Mexico and Peru, and applying Barrington Moore's model.
