Abstract
Agrarismois the body of thought that is understood to have guided Mexican peasant struggles in this century. It seems reasonable to expect an essay on peasant ideology to open with a clear definition, or at least a list of the doctrines that form the content of this ideology. But agrarismo has often served as an imprecise catchword for a wide variety of goals espoused by peasants and peasant leaders during seven decades of struggle in the Mexican countryside. Even when we consider only themainstreamof agrarianist thinking in twentieth-century Mexico, we find that anagraristavision of a just order has implied committment to a strikingly diverse series of programs from 1910 to the present day.Keywords
