Many scholars of Latin America have argued that the introduction of coffee forced most people to become landless proletarians toiling on large plantations. Cultivating Coffee tells a different story: small and mediumsized growers in Nicaragua were a vital part of the economy, constituting the majority of the farmers and holding most of the land.Alongside these small commercial farmers was a group of subsistence farmers, created by the states commitment to supplying municipal lands to communities. These subsistence growers became the workforce for their coffeegrowing neighbors, providing harvest labor three months a year. Mostly illiterate, perhaps largely indigenous, they nonetheless learned the functioning of the new political and economic systems and used them to acquire individual plots of land.Julie Charlips Cultivating Coffee joins the growing scholarship on rural Latin America that demonstrates the complexity of the processes of transition to expanded export agriculture in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, emphasizing the agency of actors at all levels of society. It also sheds new light on the controversy surrounding landholding in Nicaragua during the Sandinista revolution.
