Memórias do massacre de Corumbiara : a luta pelo direito a função social da terra : (1995)

Abstract

The social function of land in Rondônia is a pendulum that time is on the side of the state and the agrarian elite, which considers it the social function of land, generating employment and income, proletarianized peasants, leading them to the rural exodus and death; Time is on the side of the peasants, who believes it is the social function of land a sacred right, to generate food and shelter to those who work it. The contradiction in the interpretation of this concept is caused by the laws of land ownership, which does not miscegenated with the peasant culture, which for centuries have created and maintained the custom of taking possession of the land and migrate. Although the state and justice, sometimes, interpret, the social function of land, unlike the peasant culture, traditions and the peasant tradition, is consolidated in his memory and identity.
