A reforma agrária na Amazônia paraense: implicações do processo de interdição de assentamentos rurais na vida de camponeses do Município de Pacajá

Abstract

This dissertation analysis contradictions of the Agrarian Reform Program in the Amazon from the conjecture that initiated due to interdiction process of rural settlements in this region. Part of the historical agrarian policy in Brazil, verifies and reflects on the maintenance of the founded land structure grounded in this huge property. In the Amazon, the speeches that favored the peasant agriculture, turned into actions that benefited, in fact, the start of this huge capital in this region was through the policy of subsidies and tax fiscal incentives. Since the analysis of the two rural settlements located in the municipality of Pacajá-Pará that were banned by the federal justice in the year of 2007, the settlement of the Anapuzinho and the settlement of the Cupuzal demonstrate a distortion of the agrarian reform. Misconceptions in the bureaucratic procedures performed by the government land agency-the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA) prevented the access of peasants to the official programs. The peasants still maintain in the area despite of the state omission in the formalization of the incorporation of these lands in the productive process of the country and the region.
