Talk:Ejido

Untitled
The redistribution of land under the Agrarian reform agency has been plaged by problems rooted in the spanish inadequate predial records and has caused many conflicts.

a constitutional ammendment changed the way Ejidos are regulated today, a change should be reflected in the wiki article.

It may be that Ejidos were established by Aztec rulers as well, but as I understand them they were implemented by late 19th century rulers in places such as El Salvador (as mentioned in "Land, Community, and Revolt in Late-Nineteenth-Century Indian Izalco, El Salvador : http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/hispanic_american_historical_review/v079/79.3lauria-santiago.html).

biased phrasing?
The introduction says  "After the Mexican Revolution, ejidos were created by the Mexican state to grant lands to peasant communities as a means to stem social unrest. The awarding of ejidos made peasants dependent on the government, with the creation of a bureaucracy to register and regulate them through the National Agrarian Registry (Registro Agrario Nacional)."  This seems to be speculation of the intent of the Mexican government as no source is provided. JustinGlen (talk) 20:32, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Ejidos still exist.
Ejidos still exist in Mexico! San Salvador Atenco is an example of one. The people of this ejido rioted in 2003 when the government tried to condemn their land for use as an airport. They rioted in 2006 over other government projects. Ejidos in Acaupulco are fighting against the building of a dam (Presa La Parota). This is a glaring inaccuracy. I don't know their full status so I won't make any edits to the article myself. glasperlenspiel 04:40, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Removed erroneous text about National Bank
I removed "This bank pays for the equipment and goods necessary for the upkeep of the land. In essence, the bank has only just replaced the encomendero; however, the community member who works on the land gets paid for his or her work." I am reasonably sure that this is not correct. In fact, Ejidatarios (Ejido members) debt problems due to Bank credit are well documented (see new links in article). This article needs a lot of work, I hope that some people with more Mexican agriculture, politics or history knowledge than me can work on it. Thank you, --LRG 05:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

But does anybody really know what an ejido is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.4.26.116 (talk) 06:04, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
