1945: (Lescot’s Erasure of Rural-to-Urban Migration: Lescot’s Framing of Peasant and Poor People’s Presumed Hyperreproductivity Alongside Overpopulation Being an Erasure of the Increased Patterns of Rural-to-Urban Migration Since the US Occupation, His Projection of Urban Population Growth onto Peasant Women’s Reproduction and Sexual Practices Also Ignoring His Role in the Disruption of Rural Geographies Like SHADA That Forced Increased Urban Migration): Lescot’s framing of peasant and poor people’s presumed hyperreproductivity alongside overpopulation was an erasure of the increased patterns of rural-to-urban migration since the US occupation. His projection of urban population growth onto peasant women’s reproduction and sexual practices also ignored his own role in the disruption of rural geographies (like SHADA) that forced increased urban migration. The president who had cleared the forests now blamed the women who fled the cleared land for crowding the capital, the arsonist lamenting the refugees.
