State, deforestation, agrarian conflicts, peasant resistance.Abstract
Southeast Pará, the site of large capitalist development projects, has stood out for years for its alarming rate of rural assassinations. We discuss the contemporary character of agrarian conflicts and how they are related to deforestation. It is important to underscore the role of the State regarding environmental questions and its relationship with agrarian conflicts in the region. Our main sources of information are oral histories of peasants and data on agrarian conflicts and forms of resistance, which we relate to indices of deforestation in the areas researched.Downloads
