A socioterritorialidade da Amazônia e as políticas de educação do campo

Abstract

This article analyzes the relationship between territory, public policies and rural education within the context of the socio-territorial diversity of the Amazonian region in the state of Pará. The analysis emphasizes the centrality of the social movements’ protagonism in the region, as well as in the larger Brazilian context, the rationale being an understanding of territory that privileges relationality and complexity with respect to economic, political, cultural and ecological dimensions. Lastly, the socio-territorial diversity within the Amazonian region of Pará state is mapped, highlighting the territoriality of rivers, rural colonies, settlements, extractive reserves, ‘quilombos’, and indigenous reservations.
