Abstract
ABSTRACT This article analyzes the barriers that peasant associations faced to access seized land in Hacienda Las Mercedes through the Plan Tierras. I argue that the mobilization for land transited between an undemocratic state that has historically served the agrarian elite and a state impregnated by patronage, corruption and violent practices that wrested autonomy from and divided peasant organizations to prevent the effective distribution of seized hacienda land. Persistent peasant mobilization illustrates how the struggle for land was also a struggle against a state apparatus that continued to serve the interests of the agrarian elite eager to recover its former properties.
