Revolução Agrária e as Novas Práticas do Campesinato na Fazenda Riachão, em Lagoa dos Gatos, Pernambuco: um estudo do bem viver camponês

Abstract

This work presents itself as a study of the so-called Agrarian Revolution that took place on the Riachão farm in Lagoa dos Gatos, Pernambuco. In 2004, peasants organized by the Poor Peasants' League (LCP) seized control of the farm, divided the land, and began production, inaugurating the Peasants' Good Living anchored in community life and sustainable production, which followed after the land was acquired. In this way, it overcame the semi-colonial and semi-feudal aspects engendered by the old latifundium in the area, ushering in new and superior peasant relations and practices. Thus, the intention here is to demonstrate that the Agrarian Revolution on the Riachão farm gave rise to Peasants' Good Living, in opposition to the old and outdated practices engendered by the latifundium in the locality.
