The strengthening of peasant identity: repercussions of the National Program of Education in Agrarian Reform in the States of Ceará, Minas Gerais, and Paraná (1998-2011)

ABSTRACT:

This article addresses the results of the Second Survey on the National Program of Education in Agrarian Reform (PRONERA) in its qualitative phase, focusing on the repercussions of courses offered on the trajectory of former residents in nine settlements of the States of Ceará, Minas Gerais, and Paraná. Narrative interviews were carried out with graduates of all three states, with questionings in the light of dialectical materialism method of analysis. There were repercussions on personal (expansion of educational levels and socio-professional activity) and collective dimensions (school closer to peasant reality and productive sector), as well as possibilities of understanding the peasant identity, which signals to resistance and struggles in territories of life production and reproduction.
