Tessituras da memória: reforma agrária e conflitos no Tocantins

Abstract

The undergraduate thesis in Social Work entitled "Weavings of Memory: Agrarian Reform and Conflicts in Tocantins (TO)" presents the life trajectory of the author in dialogue with the complex dynamics surrounding the struggle for land in Brazil and in the state of Tocantins, with particular focus on the social, economic, and political implications of this issue. Through the lens of my personal journey, this research is grounded in the premise that agrarian reform is a central issue for promoting social justice and reducing inequalities in rural areas, where land concentration and agrarian conflicts remain persistent challenges. The study adopts a qualitative approach and emphasizes the urgency of a political and social commitment to agrarian justice, highlighting the importance of building networks of support and solidarity among the various actors involved in the land struggle. In summary, the paper contributes to the understanding of the complexities of agrarian reform and rural conflicts, offering a critical perspective that can serve as a foundation for future research and the development of public policies aimed at promoting equity and social justice in Brazil.
