This article literally appraises the book "Tile Mexican Agrarian Revolution," by Frank Tannenbaum. The land problem has underlain Mexico's troubles since prehistoric times, though its importance was never fully grasped by the chroniclers. Only since agrarianism has become the dominant aspect of the Mexican Revolution has its persistent significance begun to be appreciated in retrospect. Mr. Tannenbaum has devoted several years to research. He has traveled into every Mexican state, collected and collated many statistics. He has brought as nearly up to date as possible the status of the agrarian reform which was the revolution's attempt to abolish land monopoly, serfdom, and the other attendant ills.
