1. What do you make of decree 2,795? Explain what rational Ubico must have had to implement such a decree?
It is all for power. If the landowners have more power and the government and army support the landowners, then the president can then own the workers financial situation and livelihoods.
2. Who was Jose Artigas and what did he do.
Jose Artigas was the leader of the first Agrarian Reform in Uruguay.
3. Galeano ends ch. 2 discussing the backwardness of how many things have operated in Latin America. Give two examples of this backwardness and explain their importance for Latin American society.
One example was the fact that Latin America must import so much food that they could have grown there, which is not sustainable. Another example was when the government in Brazil gave land away then took it back when they discovered coffee was a cash crop.
