Assentamento Palmeira: o protagonismo das mulheres em meio aos desafios e resistência

Abstract

The objective of this research is to carry out a study to address the challenges and resistances. Despite having several studies related to this field, the experience of the womenof the Palmeira Settlement can bring new possibilities for interpreting the role of women insociety, especially in the context of women in the agrarian reform process. In general, researching and analyzing women in the context of agrarian reform will contribute to the question of the gender relationship that is present in rural camps and settlements - spaces where people of various ethnicities and different cultures come together. The reason that aroused the interest in developing a research with the Palmeira Settlement is based on the experience in this reality with questions that arouse concerns, such as the social issue of thewomen of the Settlement (which are little valued within the context where they are inserted,how to this social group was made invisible). The experience in this location allowed observing that women are made invisible in the problems of women's work, exclusion. I developed (and am still developing, therefore under construction) bibliographical research on gender and on women in camp/settlement areas, feminist movement (historical context),sexual division of labor, oral history, which will be parameters for me to I can understand the speeches of the women in the collective, even about themselves, was used as a presupposition, participant research, participant observation and oral history, that is, interviews (based on oral history).
