"THE DEFENSE OF PELA TERRA IN THE COUNTRY OF AGRARIAN REFORM: THE RIGHT FOUND IN THE PEASANT RESISTANCE PROCESSES IN THE NORTHERN REGION OF THE COUNTRY".
Agrarian Reform; Legal Pluralism; Resistance.
This thesis sought to analyze the Brazilian Agrarian Reform, as a mechanism adopted by the State so that land distribution according to its political-legal structure “causes changes in the land structure without changing the existing capitalist mode of production in different societies” (OLIVEIRA, 2017, p.68). The land structure in Brazil is established by the civil institutes of possession and property found in the legislation. The main legislation that deals with the subject, in the case of rural areas, is the Land Statute, created and edited during the civil-military regime. However, the institute of Agrarian Reform gained the status of a constitutional norm with the advent of the Constitution of the Republic of 1988, considered the citizen's constitution. The 1980s marked the emergence of the Landless Workers and Rural Workers Movement - the MST, claiming that today it is the largest movement fighting for Agrarian Reform in the world (this statement still does not have a statistical reference). In 2000, construction began on the Liga de Camponeses Pobres – LCP, another movement fighting for land that has been increasing the areas occupied by landless peasants and that differentiates its performance from other movements because it defends the banner of the Agrarian Revolution. In a scenario of 53 years of existence of the Agrarian Reform law, we have, at the same time, 37 years of existence of the largest movement fighting for Agrarian Reform. Dialectically, if there is the law that instituted the Agrarian Reform and there are still landless workers, either the Agrarian Reform created and established went wrong or it did not happen. So much so that there are many other movements fighting for land, in addition to the MST, which organize peasants for the daily confrontation in the conquest of land and in this regard, the Liga dos Camponeses Pobres -LCP stands out, which is treated in this work from of the occupation carried out in the former landholding, Fazer Bom Futuro, currently Acampamento Enilson Ribeiro – LCP. The research problem starts from the following question: Who has the Right to Land? To seek the answer, the theory of Legal Pluralism and the experiences of the Right Found on the Street were used, in order to be able to analyze the conflict of land ownership, which is public, but is illegal and protected by the State, and that after the emergence of the peasant movement encampment, ceases to be a landholding and becomes housing for 150 peasant families, but against state law. Demonstrating the interference in the geography of the region, and that the struggle and resistance even within a violent framework of State repression allows the conquest and construction of rights, dialoguing with the philosophy of “The right found on the street” developed by Jose Geraldo de Sousa Junior.
