Forsaken Harvest
This historical monograph examines the decline of the hacienda estates within Jalisco, Mexico, during the early decades of the twentieth century.

The model of regional development described is applicable to other areas of Mexico and underdeveloped Third World nations with extensive peasant populations. The research for this investigation has wider implications regarding issues of global hunger and malnutrition.
