Abstract/description by editorial team (2020):
The article analyzes the Mexican revolution in relation to the situation of Mexico's rural population. The campesinos (villagers) are identified as a major force behind the revolution. This is due to the social inequality and contrasts in pre-Revolution Mexican society as well as the "agrarian question" (presence of 10 million landless, migratory agricultural workers). The article describes the structure of land use in relation to ethnicity and occupation. It also presents an historical overview of the "agrarian reform" in the course of the Mexican revolution. The article concludes that thr end results of land use reforms present a form of social agreement between two social groups active in the revolution: bourgeoisie and peasantry.
