As sementes germinando no sertão: o Sindicato dos Trabalhadores(as) Rurais de Inhapi e a gestação do MST em Alagoas, 1985-1989. 2020

Abstract

This work seeks to understand how the gestation process of the Movement of Landless Rural Workers (MST) took place in Alagoas, from 1985 to 1989. It also aims to understand the role played by the Union of Rural Workers of Inhapi - more specifically of its direction - in the formation of the MST in Alagoas and to understand the process of collective struggle for land in Alto Sertão Alagoano, from the first occupation of the state, carried out on January 26, 1987, in the municipality of Delmiro Gouveia. Our work was carried out based on documentary research in periodicals. We analyzed documents produced by the Landless Rural Workers Movement and the Central Unica dos Trabalhadores (CUT). All the material is available, respectively, at the Luta pela Terra and Hemeroteca Movimento Sindical Hemeroteca stored on the Armazém Memória website: a collective rescue of history.
