An EjidoEjido Full Description:An Ejido is an area of land held collectively by a community, used for agriculture, forestry, or housing. Unlike private property, this land could not originally be sold, ensuring it remained a permanent resource for the village. The revolution fought to reclaim these lands which had been illegally seized by hacienda owners. Critical Perspective:The fight for the ejido represents the clash between two opposing worldviews: the capitalist view of land as a commodity to be bought and sold for profit, and the indigenous/peasant view of land as a communal right and source of subsistence. The ultimate partial success of the ejido system was one of the most radical redistributions of wealth in Latin American history. is an area of land held collectively by a community, used for agriculture, forestry, or housing.
