- Abstract
This article discusses the construction process of the Agrarian Reform policies and program from the second half of the 1980s, a period characterized by the country's redemocratization process, with the end of the military dictatorship. The comparative scales of territorial analysis are both the processes that took place in the Brazilian territory and those verified in the State of Paraíba. The National Plans for Agrarian Reform (PNRA I and II), which emerged after Brazilian democratization, never had in their political and social base a process of real rupture with the structure historically established and maintained by sectors of Brazilian agriculture. Despite advances in numerical terms in the creation of rural settlements, these did not change the national agrarian structure. For the most part, Agrarian Reform plans are involved in a forced coalition pact that maintains the dominant structure and slows down the peasants' struggle for land. It proves to be rentier, in the sense that the creation of settlements does not detach the legal ornament or the privileges of private property. When expropriation occurs, it occurs in parallel with the indemnification and reaffirmation of private property, maintained by the conservative structure of the State. However, we cannot deny the efforts of socioterritorial movements in the struggle for access to land, nor the importance of the social representativeness that Agrarian Reform has for settled peasants and their families as one of the few possibilities for access to land and a more dignified standard of life.
