Marchas e contramarchas na luta pela moradia na Terra Firme (1979-1994)

Abstract

The dissertation examines the struggle for housing developed in the area Tucunduba River Watershed, specifically in the Terra Firme between the years 1979 to 1994. The research aimed to analyze the contributions produced in the process, they designed for resistance and social organization by the residents of that place. We use primarily journalistic sources and interviews with leaders. During the eighties, political events shook the country, promoted by the return of the crowds to the squares and put in a headline set of social demands, among which the urban reform. In Belém, the Movement and Titling of Urban Area Tucunduba - MOTUAT, became one of the social references to become representative of popular demands in the fight for the right to live on land considered at the Federal University of Pará - UFPA.
