Formas de ação coletiva

This paper aims to discuss certain forms of collective action used by a group of rural workers whowere threatened with eviction of the land they lived in. The analysis is based on land conflictsinvolving settlers and grabbers of two farmlands: América Fabril and Fazenda Conceição de Suruí,both in Magé, a district in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Most of the dispute - between 1960 and1970 – was during the civil-military dictatorship, a period considered by scholars as a moment ofpolitical demobilization. The case stands out among the other land conflicts because of the legalland expropriation achieved by the group of rural workers in 1973 and 1974, respectively. Also,these were the only land expropriations, based on conflicts, between the 1964 coup and the late1970s so far noticed
