| description | This article critically examines the way the historiography has approached the study of communal land privatizations in Mexico in the second half of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century. It contends that, despite its many achievements and with few exceptions, the bulk of the literature in the past three and a half decades has tended to adopt a distinctly piecemeal perspective. As a result, careful examination of the causes, the general context, and the unfolding of land privatization has been neglected. The article thus offers a general analytical framework based on five key factors. This framework, together with evidence from notary archives and sources from local, state and federal actors, are used to analyze the history of communal land privatizations in a region known as meseta purépecha or Tarascan Plateau—a highland region of the state of Michoacán, Mexico, with a high percentage of indigenous population and where communal land tenure has long-standing roots. The central argument is that land privatizations were not the predictable result of systematic and coherent liberal land policies, as it is often assumed, but the result of two very particular historical junctures, the first one of which (1868-1875) revolved around the privatization of agricultural lands, while the second one (1885-1914) revolved around the privatization of communal forests. |

Este artículo elabora una crítica al modo en que la historiografía ha estudiado el proceso de desamortización civil de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX en México. Arguye que, pese a sus muchos aciertos y salvo muy contados casos, en las últimas tres décadas y media el grueso de la bibliografía especializada ha tendido a adoptar una perspectiva señaladamente episódica que suele descuidar el examen de las causas, el contexto general y la periodización precisa del proceso desamortizador. Propone, entonces, un cuadro analítico general basado en cinco factores clave. A partir de este cuadro y de evidencia de archivos notariales y fuentes elaboradas por actores locales, estatales y federales, reconstruye y analiza la historia del reparto liberal en la meseta purépecha, región del centro-oeste de Michoacán, México, con una alta incidencia de población indígena y en donde el régimen de propiedad comunal ha tenido históricamente un lugar central. El argumento central es que, más que el resultado natural de una política sistemática y coherente, el reparto en la meseta fue fundamentalmente el fruto de dos coyunturas históricas singulares, la primera de las cuales (1868-1875) giró en torno a la adjudicación y enajenación de tierras de labor y la segunda (1885-1914) en torno a la explotación comercial de los bosques comunales.
