Privatizing the countryside: The Mexican peasant movement and neoliberal reform

In: Latin American perspectives: a journal on capitalism and socialism, Band 22, Heft 84, S. 59-76

Abstract

According to the author, liberalization within and across national borders affects more than just patterns of migration and labor markets. He offers a different perspective on agricultural restructuring in Mexico, showing how it can weaken social movements as well. He then critically examines reforms undertaken by President Salinas and their negative impact on the country's peasant movement. (DÜI-Sen)
