El proceso de reparto de la propiedad comunal en dos poblaciones del Cantón de los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, durante la década de 1880

the aim of this article is to show the ways in which the land confiscation process in two villages of the tuxtlas cantonment, veracruz (santiago tuxtla y san andrés tuxtla) was carried out during the decade of 1880, due to the pressure exerted by juan de la luz enríquez, the governor. the land's partition had notable differences in the two villages: while in san andrés a "division board" was created by the most important people from the locality that eased a monopolization of the land, in santiago the process was led by the city hall, taking into account people's proposals to try to distribute lands in a more balanced manner.
