Troubled Harvest : Agronomy and Revolution in Mexico, 1880-2002 (Contributions in Latin American Studies)
Editorial Reviews
Review
“This is a fascinating and in-depth posthumous critique of the failure of the Mexican and Green Revolutions to significantly improve the daily lives of poor rural farm families, or campesinos, in Mexico....Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and up.”–
“[I] hope geographers will use Troubled Harvest as a solid foundation on which to build regional studies of how landscapes change in relation to the actions of agronomos and others involved in the first and second Green Revolutions.”–
Book Description
During the 20th century, two revolutions swept rural Mexico: the Mexican Revolution and the Green Revolution. This book examines the history of Mexican agronomy and agronomists to shed new light on the role of science in the Mexican Revolution, the origins of the worldwide Green Revolution, and general issues about the nature of the professions, the impact of professionals' ties to politics and the state, and discourses between members of Mexico's urban middle class and peasantry.
