Abstract

The present research tries to understand the wrestling of rural workers without property in the Without Property Movement (MST) in Rio Bonito do Iguaçu in 1996 and 1997. Through Oral History methodologies, part of the reports of the subjects who lived the studied housing process, as well as other written, oral and visual sources, aspires and interprets from studies sociological, anthropological and cultural, with special emphasis on the studies of Michel de Certeau. It is divided in three parts. The first moment shows the processes experienced by the Without Property that went to the camp and search to understand the reasons that led the rural workers to camp with their families, with the data in the organized struggle for the land. The second module is about the daily routine of them, presenting a series of activities of these people Without Property, their organization into groups and sectors, leadership composition, how to have water and food, a series of exercises and strategies, walking towards the "promised land". The third part of the participatory process of development is conducted by the MST and by religious leaders. It is concluded that the MST has organized a camp worm in a period of two months with the largest number of people (more than twelve thousand) for two main reasons, a well-mounted strategy by the movement, and by finding means to survive on that historic moment. This process was experienced between the strategies of the native language and Without Property movement, which was not only a struggle for language but also for the struggle for survival. And in this sense, in the search for the problems that have arisen, a process of participatory development arose, with a strong participation of Sister Lia and the women encamped.
