A thesis for a very important paper follows, if you wouldn't mind too terribly, could you read over it and see if it makes sense? Sometimes my spanish does not communicate what I want it to. :D If there are any grammatical, spelling, semantic, or syntax errors, please let me know. If you have a suggestion, please also leave a comment. Thank you!

En su unica colección de cuentos, “El llano en llamas,” Juan Rulfo está presentando las dificultades que los pobres rusticos batallan en México; la desunidad entre los miembros de la familia, la falta de representación por el gobierno, y la lucha de sobrevivir.

Hi, Joe, very nice post so you get a correction from me, it is however a good idea, to include the English text, so we can help you better. What did you mean by the bolded part?

pobres rusticos = rural poor.

Are you asking what "nos presenta" means? Or just correcting it to add "nos"?

Having just read Pedro Páramo in Spanish, I'm drawn to answer even though I'm not really the person qualified to do so. I think that you might want to use "presenta" instead of "esta presentando", just as you might in English. There may be some other small things I wouldn't notice, but to me it otherwise looks fine.
