SUMMARY:
This research problematizes, in the context of History, issues related to the struggles for land rights and agroecology in rural social movements, represented by the female protagonists that took place in the territories of the Fórum do Assentados e Assentadas do Brejo Paraibano (Forum of Settlers of Brejo Paraibano), in Paraíba, and in the annual mobilization for the Marcha pela Vida das Mulheres e pela Agroecologia (March for Women's Lives and Agroecology). The objective is to problematize how six women, peasant leaders, present in their life stories political resistance, represented by the intersection of class, race and gender variants in the face of the colonial patriarchal discourse between the 1980s and the present day, appropriating the banners of struggles for agroecology as a power for a possible political ecology. I analyze intersectionality as an explanatory epistemic category for the history of these women. The methodology adopted follows the paths of Oral History, defined in this text as a path to understanding the knowledge of the collaborators during their fields of political action. Regarding memory, it is consolidated as an element of cohesion of groups and collectives of peasant women in brejo, being endorsed as an element of belonging to the struggles for land in its various perspectives. Today, many of these leaders bring to their stories the protagonism and vivacity of those who have long fought for social issues for the poorest, and, in this sense, this thesis is a contribution to the field of humanities, to the history and memory of these struggles. Regarding the temporalities, the “comings and goings” to the past presented in the memories of the peasant leaders do not allow to fix a static temporal frame, because if I did so, I would be leaving gaps that would not allow me to problematize ancestries, relationships of belonging, friendships and political formations built by them in the 1980s in the struggles for land, and which continue to be alive in their memories and effective in their current agendas. The current struggles for agroecology, feminism and political participation present in their actions cannot be dissociated from what was experienced in the past. Therefore, the multitemporalities that run through this thesis are metaphorically called “Tree.” In this sense, “Land” and “Seeds” are chapters that analyze the struggles of the past and “Tree,” “Flowers” and “Fruits” blossom on today’s issues.
