Summary, etc "In this study of the Rio Sonora region of northern Mexico, where ranchers own anywhere from several hundred to tens of thousands of acres, Eric Perramond evaluates management techniques, labor expenditures, gender roles, and decision making on private ranches of varying size.

"Through first-hand observation, field measurements, and intimate ethnographies, Perramond sheds light on a complex set of decisions made, avoided, and confronted by these land managers and their families. In particular he shows that ranching has endured because of its extended kinship network, its reliance on all household members, and its close ties to local politics." "Perramond follows ranchers caught between debt
