A atuação do Instituto Nacional de Reforma Agrária na região Oeste de Santa Catarina: revisão crítica (1960 - 1980)

Abstract

The present study tries to analyze the conceptions of the land process in the west of the state of Santa Catarina. Before the institutionalized modernization project, there was a characterization of rural spaces and properties, seeking not only to solve local social tension, but also to make a precondition for its development, establishing a social organization of the State along the border lines. The process of expansion and modernization focused on the land issue has led to an environmental impact and deepening the deterioration of agriculture in family models, intensifying the conceptions and practices of new crops proposed by a model characterized in a distinct socioeconomic representation in transnational capital. I try to make a critical literary review of the historical elements that make up this process for a fundamental understanding of social and environmental conflicts that extended in the formation of the western border in the south of Santa Catarina.
