What reading level is The Agrarian Indian Communities of Highland Bolivia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These consist chiefly in supplying pro- visions for any troops that may be in the vicinity, providing messengers when needed by the local authorities, and furnishing mules for travelers when demanded by the correjidor. This custom gives rise to great abuses on the part of the local author- ities, who often use this obligation as a cloak for securing many personal services.
Aside from this general oversight and the exaction of the land tax the Bolivian government leaves the communities very larg...ely to their own control. Even the police of the republic seldom interfere in the internal affairs of the community except in case of serious disorder.
In 1866 President Melgarejo promulgated a decree by which the communities were abolished and the lands were declared to belong to the Indians in severalty. An immediate result was that many of the Indian holdings passed into the hands of whites or mestizos. After the overthrow of Melgarejo's dictatorship these sales were annulled (1871), the bona fide buyers being reimbursed by the government, which still carries a part of the cost of this act of justice as an item in its internal debt.
