PADILLA CALDERON, Esther. Internal and External Factors in a Local Confrontation over the Social Control of Water in Arid Conditions: San Miguel de Horcasitas, Sonora, in the First Half of the 20th Century. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2012, vol.33, n.132, pp.185-222. ISSN 2448-7554.
With the establishment of the Horcasitas ejido water distribution was modified, as this resource had to be distributed among ejidatarios and small landowners. This generated confrontations that were accentuated when the so-called "grand drought" descended upon this semi-arid region. In that setting, longstanding antagonisms within the ejido were rekindled, important ruptures emerged, and a condition of water scarcity was constructed. Confrontations led to processes of social polarization that resulted in the expulsion of a large group of ejidatarios.
