Cross Cultural Currents in the Near East
Export Agriculture and the Expansion of Urban Slum Areas
Many of the richest people have all or a large part of their accumulated wealth in land, yet the men and women who work the land are usually their country's most poverty-stricken. The landowning elite is very powerful because land has been concentrated in few hands. In the Third World' of less developed countries (LDCs) and in the United States this situation in the last four decades has led to an emphasis on export crops and a restructuring of a…
The Pattern of Neocolonialism
Development and Agrarian Land Reform in Venezuela's Pioneer Zone
Opportunities in the oil fields and on the large and small farms and ranches in the pioneer zone of Venezuela along the Llanos-Andes border attract tens of thousands of "undocumented"Colombian migrants. Many replace Venezuelans fleeing from the country to the urban areas Residents of the higher "cold country" elevations move into the lower ones, whose residents move into the now healthier hot" lowlands. The affluent arc moving from the lowlands t…
Land for the People-A Vital Need Every where
Some of the author s land tenure and land use studies of the 1930s analyzed the basic dilemma of modern rural society, in which the traditional institution of private property in land (which, more than competing systems, helps to bring about the efficient use of the land), at the same time also frustrates innovation and enterprise and creates unstable social conditions. A resurvey of the situation in the same areas half a century later shows that…

Jungle Geopolitics in Guyana
When nearly 1,000 American men, women and children lost their lives in a mass murder and suicide rite in 1978 staged by a madman, Jim Jones, a former Christian minister turned Communist leader, many Americans asked, "Why?" The press, overcoming earlier lethargy, amassed facts permitting a sophisticated psychological and sociological explanation. Neglected, however, was the question why was the Jonestown Communist utopia sited in the Guyana jungle…
The Rise and Fall of Maya Civilization
Savages,' as Europeans considered the Americans of ancient times, never built the great Mayan centers. The builders of great cities in Meso-America were a well-organized group with an adequate land base and a rather sophisticated technology. From 300 B.C. to 900 A.D. the Maya developed and perfected an agriculture-based economy with a well developed commerce, writing, art, science, religion and government, as well as an advanced architecture of m…
Pyramids, Derricks and Mule Teams in the Yucatán Peninsula
Over a period of 1200 years the Maya civilization in the Yucatáin Peninsula of Mexico rose, flourished, declined and fell. Jungle and forest closed in on great cities, pyramids, monuments and roads, and the area became depopulated. In recent decades a second effort is being made to achieve the economic development of the region. Once again a viable agriculture is being established. Oil deposits are being exploited, as the basis of local industrie…

The lake, with an area of 440 square kilometers, occupies the center of a large depression of about 3000 square kilometers. With the Aragua and Tuy Rivers, it lies in a low valley, possibly downfaulted, which trends east-west for more than 200 kilometers between the Coast Range and the Serrania del Interior. The schists that form the high mountains north of the lake are probably the equivalent in age of the phyllites, schists, and slates of the V…

Along the Llanos-Andes Border in Zamora, Venezuela
OME of the communities of South America now have a relatively lower position than they enjoyed in colonial days. Such is the state of Zamora in Venezuela, whose capital, Barinas, was once second only to Caracas in size and importance. The prime cause of its backwardness is assuredly the poor state of communications, discouraging alike immigration of foreigners and enterprise on the part of the native inhabitants. Here is a state with an area of I…

IN many areas man is quite dependent for a livelihood upon one planteither as a subsistence or as a cash crop. He becomes so dependent as to be practically parasitic, helpless should the plant be taken away. In many tropical areas the banana, or plantain tree acts as a host for man. Deprived of this source of food the primitive peoples of many such regions would perish. Such, in the Valley of Mexico, is the maguey plant, upon which the living of …
