Guatemala’s first successful modernizing regime - - that of Justo Rufino Barrios (!873 - 1885) - - is a historic example of Spanish American liberal dictatorship, in which the country’s elite were forced to accept modernization.
Clegern contends that both groups were driven to progressive reform and modernization but by conflicting paths and that the differences ignited the revolution of 1871, which placed the moderate liberal, Miguel Garcia Granados, in the presidency.
Within two years, his radical junior partner, Barrios, replaced Granados and became Central America’s most powerful liberal dictator of the nineteenth century.

 Power of Place - 21 More From Our Geographers
And it's not really until the coming to power of Justo Rufino Barrios and the sort of liberal reformer of the 1870's that you get an assault on Indian land and indeed a double plunder and assault on Indian labor.
Basically, it was during the Barrios reforms that large chunks, large areas, large tracts of Indian land were lost to the sort of coffee economy.
So it's really in a sense to the late 19th Century historical experience that the land question, the land problem of Guatemala is more directly rooted and not in the nature of the colonial experience.
