Biography
Andrew Pearse was a British sociologist who lived and worked in Latin America.
Reviews of the original publication:
‘The Latin American Peasant, apart from two initial theoretical chapters (“Land and Labour Institutions in Latin America,” and “The Context of Peasant Action”), turns out to be mainly a compendium of case studies. Together, these case studies add up to a kind of natural history which documents the wide range of calamities that have befallen peasantries over the last two decades. Pearse selects his case studies with admirable care (a reflection of both his humanism and wide expertise, drawn from his many years of UNESCO service).’
-Edward Hansen, Hispanic American Historical Review (1977)
