- Abstract
This article seeks to understand the new configuration of land use in the micro region of Santarém related to the expansion of soybean crops, which started to be cultivated in the south of Pará state in the 1990s. The agricultural modernization and expansion of the agricultural frontier (with its conservative brand), especially the expansion of soybean crops, did not significantly alter the reality of conflict and violence and disputes opened by new forms of economic power in the Amazon. New actors and motives, part of the Amazon agro-strategies, maintain and expand the disputes for land and territories in the region of Santarém. We study the expansion of soybean crops, which maintained old and generated new conflicts over land and created more obstacles - such as the increased demand for land and increasing its prices - to fulfill land rights in the Amazon.
