Expansão do capital e sujeição da renda camponesa na produção de cana e cachaça no povoado de Santa Luzia-Caetité-BA

The present article intents to analyze the transformations occurred in the cultivation of cane, from the production process to the commercialization of cachaça in the village of Santa Luzia-Caetité-Bahia-Brazil, as a result of market demands, and what it implies in the reproduction of life of the subjects/families whose lives depends on land labor. The research consists, through a concrete problem, in the search for a theoretical apparatus that supports the treatment of the Brazilian agrarian point in question, also for documentary sources in public institutions, and in what these are confronted with the researched families' life logic. Lastly, the theoretical apparatus' light that highlights reality as part of social and historical contradictions, field research was carried out in the production units, through interviews with the direct producers. The diverse activities carried out did not lose sight of the theoretical and practical relation, in which, dialectically, one recreates itself in the other. It was observed that the forms of capital intervention in the field, via subjection of income of the land, represents concrete difficulties in the reproduction process of peasant families. Even so, those remain on the land and strife to improve production and their living conditions
