| description | This article addresses the process of domination and political clientelism by the Mexican state in its coercive relations with the peasants of coastal Guerrero, who were coopted by the Institutional Revolutionary Party in the Regional Union of Copra Producers of the state of Guerrero (URPCEG), the state’s most important peasant organization, which had been hegemonically controlled by caciques since its founding. This article studies and analyzes one of the bloodiest massacres in Mexico in the nineteen sixties, which has been overlooked by the twentieth century historiography. While the focus is on regional history, the problem addressed herein is of national importance and impact, as the massacre of peasants on August 20 1967 in Acapulco constituted the immediate background to the appearance of guerrilla groups in Guerrero and other parts of the country. It’s not an exaggeration to state that this was an act of state terrorism that formed part of a counterinsurgency strategy that sought to invoke a peasant insurrection in Guerrero’s Costa Grande region, where there was a simultaneous crisis in the pri’s structures of political clientelism, as well as an intracacique struggle combined with a mass movement of copra and coffee producers, with agrarian and economic demands. |

While the focus is on regional history, the problem addressed herein is of national importance and impact, as the massacre of peasants on August 20 1967 in Acapulco constituted the immediate background to the appearance of guerrilla groups in Guerrero and other parts of the country.

Este artículo aborda el proceso de dominación y el clientelismo político del Estado mexicano para coaccionar a los campesinos de las costas de Guerrero, quienes fueron cooptados por el Partido Revolucionario Institucional en la Unión Regional de Productores de Copra del Estado de Guerrero (URPCEG), la organización campesina más importante de la entidad y que desde sus inicios fue hegemonizada por grupos caciquiles. Un aporte de la investigación es el estudio y análisis de una de las masacres más sanguinarias de los años sesenta en México, que había pasado inadvertida por la historiografía del siglo XX. Si bien el enfoque es de historia regional, la importancia y el impacto del problema aquí presentado tiene trascendencia nacional, ya que la masacre de campesinos del 20 de agosto de 1967 en Acapulco es el antecedente inmediato a la aparición de diferentes guerrillas en Guerrero y en otros puntos del país. No es exagerado afirmar que fue uno de los actos de terrorismo instrumentados por el Estado mexicano como parte de una estrategia contrainsurgente que buscaba conjurar la insurrección campesina en la región de la Costa Grande de Guerrero, donde surgió paralelamente una crisis del clientelismo priista, así como una pugna intercaciquil combinada con un fuerte movimiento de masas de copreros y cafeticultores con demandas agrarias y económicas.
