Reviews

’...should be commended...’ British Bulletin of Publications ’At a number of points, the writer has assembled work which is not easily accessible elsewhere, and for this reason alone, the book should form part of any library on the region and the country of Bolivia...It is clearly written and intelligible and should form a standard source work for students of agrarian reform as well as for geographers in general.’ The Geographical Journal ’There will be few readers who will not have second thoughts concerning the land issues after having read this fine book...The book is full of intelligent observations and is very thought-provoking.’ Quarterly Journal of International Agriculture ’...Jane Benton’s forty-year analysis of the Bolivian Agrarian Reform brings a refreshing sense of present-day relevance to what might be considered the long term.’ Latin American Studies '...a useful, penetrating and updated perspective on Bolivia's pathbreaking agrarian reform, as it revisits its impact at various intervals over the last half century.'
