Abstract
Demonstrates that land invasion occurs in those regions which have two basic characteristics: traditional latifundia have a great deal of control over the land and people; new and modernizing influences which disrupt the traditional relationships of rural society have been introduced. Includes 14 case studies of peasant land invaders in the coastal area of the country.
