Title: Agrarian reform and class consciousness in Nicaragua
Description: "Close study of the changing political responses of two peasant populations whose neighboring regions near the Pacific coast experienced different impacts from the Sandinista agrarian reforms. Shows the irony of some reform-beneficiaries turning against their benefactor-regime, a more likely event when productive relations become privatized. Argues, contra Huntington, that demobilization of various social groups will work against the achievement of development goals"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
