THE STRUCTURE OF PATRIARCHY AND AZALEIA IN THE FIGHT FOR LAND

Abstract

This work examines the trajectory of Azaleia, established in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the municipality of Sidrolândia, during the year 2007. Over the course of twelve years, she was engaged in the search for social achievements guaranteed by the Constitution, such as land, work, housing, education, transport, health and equity in power relations between men and women. Azaleia adopted different resistance strategies and faced the actions of different mediators committed to defending agrarian reform. Throughout the work, we sought to analyze the meaning of the camp in its trajectory, in addition to understanding the uncertainties experienced in the lot to ensure the consolidation of subsistence, facing encounters and disagreements along the way. During her mobilizations, Azaleia became involved with the social movement led by the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST), which resulted in conflicts in her marriage. The research was conducted using Oral Life History as a methodological procedure. In the fabric of the research work, Azaleia's narrative was considered as an indication of emotions and expressions of women who face the struggle for land and carry the marks of the social contexts in which they are inserted. Her narrative played a fundamental role as a privileged source for understanding the advances and setbacks in gender relations throughout the history of the struggle for land in the last sixty years in the State
