Abstract
Description
En las primeras décadas del siglo XX, luego de una serie de decretos y modificaciones a las leyes de posesión de la tierra, y ante lainminente pérdida que ello representó para los propietarios de las haciendas, se implementaron distintas estrategias para preservar las propiedades y contrarrestar los efectos de las leyes de expropiación, producto de la Revolución mexicana. Este trabajo se aproxima al proceso de expropiación de El Minthó y El Astillero, para la creación de sus ejidos y sus ampliaciones bajo los decretos 1915, 1925 y 1930. Asimismo, se particulariza en las estrategias que se implementaron para retener las tierras de dichas haciendas, con la intervención de los comités administrativos, posteriormente ejidales y de vigilancia, que bajo su conocimiento de las condiciones, límites y de las relaciones sociales lograron el reconocimiento de sus ejidos y la productividad de las tierras, pese a las condiciones de aridez y baja precipitación de la región, lo que permitió amasar propiedades y un importante caudal.

It also focuses on the strategies that were implemented to retain the lands of said haciendas, with the intervention of the administrative committees, later ejido and surveillance, which, based on their knowledge of the conditions, limits and social relations, achieved the recognition of their ejidos and the productivity of the land, despite the conditions of aridity and low rainfall of the region, which made it possible to amass properties and an important wealth.
