| Summary: | In the 50’s the majority of the Brazilian population used to live in the countryside, facing a
material and cultural poverty situation. The large properties’ laborers, with no labors’ rights,
underwent to an extreme exploitation. In this period the laborers and peasants began to gather
themselves together, creating unions. In some places conflicts arose due to labors’ rights and land
hold. By the end of the 50’s and during the 60’s, many farmland rebellions hatched in Capanema –
Paraná, Fomoso – Goiás, Porecatu – Paraná, Ligas Camponenas in Pernambuco. In 1963, countering
the agrarian elite, the government announced the “Estatuto da Terra”. The big landholders responded
expelling settlers, dwellers and aggregates. The promulgation of the “Estatuto da Terra”, propounded
to vanish the unproductive estates and join small landholdings. This measurement affected the small
landholding settlers from the South (RS and SC) causing a great migration to Mato Grosso and
Rondônia, where the Government and private businessman established many colonization programs.
Therefore the modernization of the agriculture in the South was enabled, and the occupation in large
areas on Mato Grosso’s and Rondônia’s borders. |
