Markiewicz (Latin American history, U. of California, Los Angeles) argues that the agrarian reforms announced by the winners of the Mexican revolution were an effort to quell real reform, were never meant to work, and never did. She also, however, disputes the romantic vision of the peasant as an agent of positive social change. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
