LUTA CAMPONESA PELA TERRA E FORMAÇÃO DE NOVAS TERRITORIALIDADES NO LITORAL SUL PARAIBANO (the peasants fight by the land and the constitution of new territorialities in the micro-region on the coast south of Paraíba state)
Abstract
Neste trabalho, analisamos a luta camponesa pela terra e a sua relação com a criação de assentamentos rurais. Investigamos a constituição de novas territorialidades na Microrregião do Litoral Sul Paraibano, tomando como objeto de estudo os assentamentos rurais localizados no município de Pitimbu, estado da Paraíba. Inicialmente, avaliamos a atuação das Ligas Camponesas no Litoral Sul Paraibano, considerando-as dentro de um processo histórico, desenvolvido nacionalmente, de luta pela terra, desde o seu surgimento até o Golpe Militar de 1964. Posteriormente, estudamos a luta pela terra durante o processo de abertura do Regime Militar até a instalação dos primeiros assentamentos rurais no município de Pitimbu. A partir dessa pesquisa, observamos que a luta camponesa acontece num processo contínuo nessa região, entre os que dependem do território para sobrevivência imediata e aqueles que desrespeitam a função social da terra.
Palavras-chaves: assentamento rural, camponês, territorialidade.

RESUMEN
En este trabajo, analizamos la lucha campesina por la tierra y su relación con la creación de asentamientos rurales. Investigamos la constitución de nuevas territorialidades en la Microrregión de la Costa Sur de Paraíba, tomando como objeto de estudio los asentamientos rurales localizados en el municipio de Pitimbu, estado de Paraíba. Inicialmente, avaluamos la actuación de las Ligas Campesinas en la Costa Sur de Paraíba, considerándolas dentro de un proceso histórico, desarrollado nacionalmente, de la lucha por la tierra, desde su surgimiento hasta el Golpe Militar de 1964. Posteriormente, estudiamos la lucha por la tierra durante el proceso de abertura del Régimen Militar hasta la instalación de los primeros asentamientos rurales en el municipio de Pitimbu. A partir de esa pesquisa, observamos que la lucha campesina ocurre en un proceso continuo en esa región, entre los que dependen del territorio para la sobrevivencia inmediata y aquéllos que no respetan la función social de la tierra.
