A produção campesina às margens do Canal do Sertão: uma análise a partir da realidade do Distrito Tingui em Água Branca - AL

Abstract

The present work seeks to make an analysis about the implementation of the Canal do Sertão installed in the vicinity of the Tingui District belonging to the municipality of Água Branca, Alagoas. The Canal do Sertão is a water infrastructure project designed by the Federal and State Government to minimize the damages caused by the scarcity of water present in the Alagoas semi-arid region. This work is also based on bibliographical references that debate on peasantry, Public Policies, the Implantation of the Sertão Channel and the analysis of the data collected in interviews with peasants linked to the lands touched by the works. The execution of this work is justified by the need to affirm the existence of the peasantry in the present day, as well as the difficulties faced by landowners of the Tingui District after the arrival of the Canal do Sertão.
