The 1992 reform of the agrarian law in Mexico defines the land as an economic asset that can, if efficiently utilized, rise the standard of living of the rural people. In this presentation I will describe and analyze the responses of producers from rural villages in Queretaro, Mexico to reform related programs of modernization. Cases discussed in the presentation bring up the land beyond its economic dimension into the realm of history, balance of power, and forms resistance in which the response to the state is produced.
