Competing understandings of agrarian reform shaped ideas of property, productivity, welfare, and justice. Peasants embraced the nationalist slogan of "land for those who work it" and rehabilitated national union structures. Indigenous communities proclaimed instead "land to its original owners" and sought to link the ruling party discourse on nationalism with their own long-standing demands for restitution. Landowners, for their part, embraced the principle of "land for those who improve it" to protect at least portions of their former properties from expropriation. Carmen Soliz combines analysis of governmental policies and national discourse with everyday local actors' struggles and interactions with the state to draw out the deep connections between land and people as a material reality and as the object of political contention in the period surrounding the revolution."Introduction -- The Liberal Project in the Countryside -- The Indian Problem and the Agrarian Question under Debate -- Revolution Comes to the Countryside -- Redistribute Land Soon -- Land to Its Original Owners -- Land for Those Who Work It -- Epilogue: Everyday Forms of Revolution.Pitt Latin American Politics and governmentfast(OCoLC)fst01919741Nationalismfast(OCoLC)fst01033832Land reformfast(OCoLC)fst00991280NationalismBoliviaHistory20th centuryLand reformBoliviaHistory20th centuryBoliviafastBoliviaPolitics and government20th centuryHistory.Politics and government.Nationalism.Land reform.NationalismHistoryLand reformHistory333.31840904Soliz Carmenaut1540247MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910795605203321Fields of Revolution3791772UNINA
