El Sistema De Plantación Y Ia Proletarización Del Trabajo Agrícola En El Salvador, Melvin Burke

School of Economics Faculty Scholarship

La concentración de la tierra en El Salvador data de la Conquita Española. Antes de 1900 existía un número significante de 4 tipos de unidades agrícolas: minifundio, tierras comunitarias, latifundio y plantaciones. Esta incómoda coexistencia gradualmente cedió a las fuerzas de la modernización cuando la demanda extranjera de café, azúcar y más tarde de algondón aumentaron. La transformación agrícola que result no dejó ni un semento de la economía intact. Los ranchos colonials se convirtieron en su mayor parte en plantaciones; las plantaciones antiquas de añil cambiaron su mezcla de productos; las tierras comunales fueron abolidas por la ley de …

The History Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In South America, 1945-1960, Joel Alva Flake

Theses and Dissertations

The history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in South America between 1945 and 1960 shows growth in numbers of members and strength of those members. The church grew more than 1000 percent during those fifteen years and almost half of all South American branches came under the direction of local, native leadership. The three new missions organized were evidence of the growth being made. Church building was stepped up and Church literature in Spanish and Portuguese became plentiful.

Some problems encountered were opposition of the prevailing church, misunderstandings with government, and the inefficiency of transportation and …

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The Guambiano Indians are an indigenous tribe of Colombia. Numbering 8,000, their only location is on a reservation just outside the village of Silvia. They retain many unique cultural traits, but are very slowly becoming acculturated into modern Colombian society. Although more nourishing foods are available to them, the Guambianos have a very starchy diet, based upon their subsistence pattern.

Does "Food For Peace" Assistance Damage The Bolivian Economy?, Melvin Burke

School of Economics Faculty Scholarship

Do commodity surplus shipments in fact "encourage economic development in the developing countries ... that are determined to improve their own agricultural production ... "?¹ Or conversely, is it true that "food aid is damaging to the countries which receive it, and they should be helped to increase the productivity of their own farmers"?² The former Bolivian Minister of Petroleum, Marcelo Quiroga, who was largely responsible for the nationalization of the Gulf Oil subsidiary in his country, apparently believes "Food for Peace" aid is damaging to the Bolivian economy.

Land Reform In The Lake Titicaca Region, Melvin Burke

School of Economics Faculty Scholarship

Bolivia's National Revolutionary party (MNR) seized power in April 1952 and a year and a half later in August 1953 promulgated the agrarian reform law, which redistributed the land of the haciendas to the former Indian tenants and others. This comparative economic study of the haciendas and ex-haciendas in the Lake Titicaca region of Bolivia and Peru was undertaken to answer three important, but largely unresolved, questions about land reform: (1 ) Which land-tenure system-large estates or small peasant farms-affords the agriculture laborers and cultivators the greater freedom of mobility, opportunity, income, and education? (2) Did the Land-tenancy conditions of …
