Solon Barraclough

3.7/5 ( ratings)

Born: August 16 1922

Died: 1818 12 20022002

The radical American scholar Solon Lovett Barraclough, who has died in Geneva aged 80, was a world expert on peasants, land reform and rural development. A sometime professor at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, the most important part of his life was spent working in Latin America for the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organisation . There he was the spearhead and the intellectual author of the 1960s land reform programmes that were supported by the United States as a response to the Cuban revolution.

By preference a field-worker, Barraclough was never happier than when out in the countryside talking to peasants. He was an able and inspirational administrator, organising FAO research and training programmes in Chile and Mexico, and later for the UN Research Institute for Social Development in Geneva.
