Description: "Marxist interpretation of late colonial history stresses the creation of a colonial landowning elite backed by the Spanish crown in their massive appropriation of land, and the corresponding growth of social conflict in the countryside. Author's work stands in dramatic opposition to that of Garavaglia, Gelman, and Mayo, who stress the existence of a large group of small landowners in the region"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
