Derbez, Ana. "Panorama De La Reforma Agraria Integral En America Latina," Anuario Indigenista, XXIII, Mexico, Die, 1963, pp. 15-38. English Summary: In regards to land ownership Latin American countries may be divided into three general groups: countries where the majority of farmers are farmer-owner, many countries enter into this category; countries where the ownership and the lease of lands are equally important (the most common name used for the lease is "aparceria," paying of the lease with part of the crop); and those countries where the majority of farmers are tenants. The Constitutions now in force in all these countries are largely concerned with the problem of a fair distribution of land, increase of cooperative work and of credit grants for rural benefit. Both the laws on Agrarian Reform which have been enacted, and the national programs of socio-economic development which are being carried out in several Latin American countries, are directed towards the solution of the age-old problem in Latin America caused by the parallel between the latifundiums and the farmers which do not own the lands they toil. This is a brief summary on the agrarian reform in Latin America which has been compiled with the information received and available at this Institute. 1964 "Informes Presentados Por Los Directores De Los Centros Interamericanos De Adiestramiento En Tecnicas De Desarrollo De La Comunidad," Anuario Indigenista, XXIV, Mexico, Die, 1964, pp. 7-78.
