Description:Church Lands and Peasant Unrest in the Philippines traces the political struggle over the ownership of the four Church lands that remained under the control of the Church after the Friar Lands purchase in 1903. Various elements of the Church, including the Archbishop of Manila, and sundry alliances of tenants, sometimes aided and organized by lawyers, labor leaders, and politicians, were the principal parties to this conflict.Since these four Church lands turned out to be hotbeds of unrest in their respective provinces during the first half of the 20th century, the Philippine government also became interested, and intermittently interventionist, party to the disputes, formulating early elements of a consistently flawed land reform program in the process.The debilitating effects of elite leadership on rural protest movements, the importance of outside leadership and organization in articulating the grievances of poor rural farmers, and the ways in which government-initiated reforms generally benefited primarily the wealthy and the powerful are among the issues raised by the book.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
