Summary |
Annotation "Many Scholars of Latin America have argued that the introduction of coffee forced most people to become landless proletarians toiling on large plantations. Cultivating Coffee tells a different story: small and medium-sized growers were a vital part of the Nicaraguan economy, constituting the majority of the farmers and holding most of the land." "Alongside these small commercial farmers was a group of subsistence farmers, created by the state's commitment to supplying municipal lands to communities. These subsistence growers became the workforce for their coffee-growing neighbors, providing harvest labor three months a year. Mostly illiterate, perhaps largely indigenous, they learned to work within the new political and economic systems and used them to acquire individual plots of land." "Julie Charlip's Cultivating Coffee joins the growing scholarship on rural Latin America that demonstrates the complexity of the processes of transition to expanded export agriculture and sheds new light on the controversy surrounding landholding in Nicaragua during the Sandinista revolution."--BOOK JACKET.
