During an economic crisis in Ecuador, three models of and solutions
to the agrarian problem were proposed. A peasant path of agricultural development was formulated by peasant leaders and socialist activists. A large-landholder model was promoted by modernising large landowners. A medium-landholder
model was advanced by promoters of European immigration and urban mestizos seeking land through state colonisation projects. The adherents of each approach identified certain groups as the cause of low agricultural
productivity and national crisis, articulating racial ideologies by defining those groups as inherently 'traditional', and thus debating the boundaries of inclusion to the national community.
Abstract This article explores the functioning of the state‐system and the emergence of a particular state‐idea in early twentieth century Ecuador by analysing relations between Indians and the state in labor recruitment for municipal public works construction in the Andean region of Alausí. The idea of the state as a dispenser of equal justice was successfully called on by indigenous peons in their resistance to forced labor recruitment by local officials of the state. The enhancement of this idea of the state simultaneously undermined the functioning of the state‐system at the local level, and legitimized central state authority.
