ABSTRACT

The Landless Workers’ Movement, Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST), is one of the most studied social movements in Brazil and the world. The movement’s research agenda and research on the movement (which do not always converge) include subjects such as education, economics and production, law, health, sociology, political science, history, geography, and anthropology. And themes such as the movement’s pedagogy, education in the countryside, political education, subjects of the pedagogical process, its economic, political, and communication strategies, cooperativism and development, the agroecological transition and sustainable agriculture, the criminalization of the movement, human rights, interactions with the state, gender relations and women’s participation, youth, the creation and territorialization of the movement, social and collective memory, the mystique, landless identity, and an extensive et cetera that defies systematic categorization.
