O caminho da terra: Revisitando a história do mst no pontal do paranapanema - sp - desde uma ótica psicopolítica

Abstract

This paper unveils the political psychology of the shapping of a collective memory in the MST - Brazil's Landless Workers' Movement in the western corner of the state of Sao Paulo in Brazil, a region named Pontal do Paranapanema, known for its conflicts between landlords/large estate owners and landless rural workers. The paper results from an extensive review on the subject and highlights the underlying dinamics in the process of shapping/building the Movement. Not only does the paper/article tell one this history, but also enhances the voice of those men and women, so as to identify them as relevant political actors.
