Description: "Published undergraduate thesis written in late 1970s provides a very good history of campesino mobilization and resistance from 1930s-70s. Especially useful as a retrospective sociological examination, with statistical data, of campesino mobilizations during 1971-78 Banzer dictatorship. Includes description of the so-called 'Tolata Massacre,' the result of an air force strike launched by the government in response to peasant protests of a stabilization package"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
