In 1936, the Laguna region of north central Mexico was the scene of one of the most ambitious experiments in land reform ever undertaken in Latin America. For the first time since the Mexican Revolution, land was collectivized rather than distributed to individuals, so that heavy machinery and extensive capitalization could be used to produce cotton and wheat more efficiently. The communities affected were called collective ejidos. This study describe the effects of sudden economic change on the organization of the community - political structure, family life, religion, education, and leisure. This experience is strikingly relevant to the question of land reform in underdeveloped areas thoughout the world.
