A luta pela reforma agrária no Sudeste Paraense nas páginas do jornal O Grito da PA 150: Terra e Liberdade (1980-1987)

Abstract

The aim of this master's thesis was to analyze the ongoing struggle for the agrarian reform in southeastern Pará, using the newspaper O Grito da PA 150: Terra e Liberdade as its main source. The alternative newspaper was published by the Diocese of Marabá (PA) between 1980 and 1987, and was one of the main voices in this period of information, mobilization and political training for rural workers. Because of its content in favor of agrarian reform during the transition process from the military dictatorship (1964-1985) to the country's New Republic, O Grito da PA 150 ended up arousing the hatred and persecution of farmers, jagunços, civil and military authorities who were active in the region. However, this didn't stop the alternative newspaper from continuing to publicize the conflicts and mobilize the peasants in campaigns for agrarian reform, in the Assembly of the People of God, Neighbourhood Associations, Basic Ecclesial Communities (CEBs), Trade Union Oppositions and in the parties opposing the dictatorship. In addition to analyzing the O Grito da PA 150 and the specialized bibliography on the subject, other sources of interest for the development of the research were inserted, such as hemerographic sources (newspapers and magazines), documentation produced by the National Information Service (SNI), judicial documents, bulletins, booklets, minutes of meetings, letters and oral reports.
