O Conselho Regional das Ligas Camponesas e o processo de transferência das lutas campesinas para os centros urbanos, em especial Recife (1945-1964)

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the process of peasant organization in Brazil, especially Pernambuco. Recife being an important pole of peasant organization between the 1950s and 1960s. The investigation of this concrete and historically dated experience starts from the desire to characterize the transference of peasant struggles to urban centers, emphasizing the process of political awareness of the peasant mass and in the use of the Civil Code, as a tool for peasant struggle, enabling the creation of organizations with associative characteristics, as was the case with the Sociedade Agrícola de Plantadores e Pecuaristas de Pernambuco - SAPPP, thus managing to avoid bureaucracy for the foundation of rural unions in the period studied. . The Conselho Regional das Ligas Camponesas is also the central object of this article, as it enabled the expansion of the peasant movement to urban centers, as it created the theoretical conditions for peasant regimentation to occur in an organized manner. The article was written from a qualitative approach, using the use of bibliographic and documentary research. and historiographical studies carried out by specialists in the field. The reinterpretation of this path demonstrates the contradictions and possibilities of the Ligas Camponesas experience.
