Migrações e trajetórias camponesas em busca de terra de trabalho e de vida

Abstract

This current work aims to grasp aspects related to the life trajectory and the struggle of peasants from the Rio Claro Set-tlement in Jataí - Goiás. For this, it was developed a wide bibliographical, documental and field research, being divided into two parts: the first one with application of forms and the second one with the carrying out of a semi-structured in-terview. The field research considered three stages of life of the families that were investigated: the previous period to the beginning of the struggle for a piece of land, the period in the camping and the present stage, while settled. As a re-sult of the research, it is discussed the relation between the land structure concentrated in Brazil, which favors countless peasants migrations due to the inaccessibility to the land and the errant search for existence; the reinforcement of this situation by the group of agricultural governmental politics that aimed "to develop" the regions from cerrado, rebutting the different forms in the peasants from the regions where they were implemented, highlighting the southwest area of the State of Goiás; the increase of the level of violence and field conflicts and intense rural exodus, by the expulsion of peasants, persuading them to various land occupations. Eventually, it demonstrates how people gather and from an oc-cupation create the camping which originates many settlements in the region, including the studied one.
