Peasant organizations in Guasave, Sinaloa, three decades after Article 27 was reformed

Abstract

The objective of this work is to analize the changes that peasant organizations have experienced in the last three decades, with presence and directive instances in the municipality of Guasave, how they built the client relationship with peasants and ejidatarios, and with the State. I relied on qualitative research, in order to understand the repositioning process of peasant organizations, from the perspective of their leaders, who in thirteen interviews comment on their experiences of the period analyzed, and the changes in the rural landscape implemented by the State. This work does not include the associative figures of the social sector, however, it provides useful knowledge for studies in other regions, of the changes that organizations have undergone and of the challenges faced by peasants in an adverse general context, in a dynamic agricultural valley, in the productive, and in the forms of organization to achieve better grain prices.
