In these localities, through the absorption of different cultural traits, they established economic, social and territorial relations, a condition that prevailed until the mid-1950s, when large floods / floods and land unavailability forced a permanent migration to land areas in the 1960/70. Historically the base of socioeconomic support of these municipalities, in particular Urucará, the focus of our research, was linked to peasant activity and its possible relations with land, forest and water made possible subsistence agriculture, extractive practices and fishing activities, highlighting the várzea in life and established relationships. Their mercantile integration made possible the exchange (products and merchandise) and at the same time a relation of exploration and subordination of peasant labor, a system broken or accentuated by the new political, economic and social conjunctures of the 1960s. This decade is emblematic not only for the visibility that the social movements in the countryside acquired in Brazil, but especially for the organization and strengthening of the peasantry in the middle Amazon River. The Catholic Church in the figure of some priests and missionaries who arrived in the state of Amazonas in the 1960s played a decisive role in the new directions of the peasantry, with progressive and libertarian ideological burdens, the Prelazias de Itacoatiara and Parintins laid the groundwork for an innovative project, choosing the peasant-riparian, as subjects of social transformation, throwing the seeds of liberation, autonomy and social development. Peasant territorialization on the mainland took place through Ecclesiastical Communities of Bases and agricultural colonies, strengthening their struggles through the creation of entities (associations, cooperatives, unions, School Family Agriculture) and mainly, of an institution that coordinates and articulates the actions together to the state sectors, engaged in one way or another, to awaken the political and social consciousness of these social subjects. The economic, political, and ideological crisis of the 1980s gradually eroded the importance that CETRU and the agricultural school had for the settlers and other social segments of the middle Amazon River. With the end of the military regime and institutions that provided financial support, fundamental for the functioning of physical and human structures, the entity loses importance, starting to dedicate itself exclusively to the work carried out by the Agricultural Family School. All this added to the emptying of the colonies, fragmentation of the leaderships, lack of confidence and institutional support were gradually restricting their activities, completely paralyzed in the late 1990s. With the end of the colonization project, CETRU and the Agricultural School, the last directors of the entity focused all their forces in agricultural cooperativism, aiming mainly at the internal and external consumer market. Guarana, the main economic product of the colonies, has become an important alternative to the crises and adversities of the globalized world. / Os sujeitos sociais no qual tratamos nessa pesquisa, os colonos, camponeses historicamente constituídos nas várzeas do médio rio Amazonas, em especial nos municípios de Urucará, Parintins e Urucurituba. Nessas localidades, pela absorção de diferentes traços culturais, estabeleceram relações econômicas, sociais e territoriais, condição que prevaleceu até meados da década de 1950, quando grandes enchentes/cheias e indisponibilidade de terras forçaram a migração permanente para as áreas de terra firme nas décadas de 1960/70. Historicamente a base de sustentação socioeconômica desses municípios, em especial Urucará, foco da nossa pesquisa, esteve ligada a atividade camponesa e suas possíveis relações com a terra, floresta e água possibilitaram uma agricultura de subsistência, práticas extrativas e atividades pesqueiras, destacando o protagonismo da várzea na vida e nas relações estabelecidas. Sua integração mercantil possibilitou trocas de produtos e mercadorias e ao mesmo tempo, relações de exploração e subordinação do trabalho camponês, sistema rompido ou acentuado pelas novas conjunturas políticas, econômicas e sociais da década de 1960. Essa década é emblemáticas não apenas pela visibilidade que os movimentos sociais no campo adquiriram no Brasil, mas especialmente pela organização e fortalecimento do campesinato no médio rio Amazonas. A Igreja Católica na figura de alguns padres e missionários que chegaram no estado do Amazonas na década de 1960 tiveram papel determinante nos novos rumos do campesinato, com cargas ideológicas progressistas e libertárias, as Prelazias de Itacoatiara e Parintins fincaram bases de um projeto inovador, elegendo o camponês-ribeirinho, como sujeitos de transformações sociais, lançando as sementes da libertação, da autonomia e do desenvolvimento social. A territorialização camponesa na terra firme se deu através de Comunidades Eclesiais de Bases e colônias agrícolas, fortalecendo suas lutas através da criação de entidades (associações, cooperativas, sindicatos, Escola Família Agrícola) e principalmente, de uma instituição que coordenasse e articulasse as ações juntamente aos setores estatais, engajado de forma ou de outra, despertar a consciência política e social desses sujeitos sociais. A crise econômica, política e ideológica da década de 1980 aos poucos foram esfacelando a importância que o CETRU representou para os colonos e demais segmentos sociais do médio rio Amazonas. Com o fim do regime militar e das instituições que davam suporte financeiro, fundamentais para o funcionamento das estruturas físicas e humanas, a entidade perde importância, passando a se dedicar exclusivamente aos trabalhos executado pela Escola Família Agrícola. Tudo isso somado ao esvaziamento das colônias, fragmentação das lideranças, falta de confiança e de apoio institucional aos poucos foram restringindo suas atividades, paralisadas por completo no final da década de 1990. Com o fim do projeto de colonização, do CETRU e da Escola Agrícola, os últimos diretores da entidade focaram todas as suas forças no cooperativismo agrícola, visando principalmente o mercado consumidor interno e externo. O guaraná, o principal produto econômico das colônias se tornou importante alternativa frente à crises e adversidades produtivas do mundo globalizado.

A large number of Englishmen, predominantly from the West Country and East Anglia, began the settlement of New England in 1630. In the sparsely populated North American wilderness they established a new society. The foundation for their New England community lay in the English experience which they brought to the New World. When a group of men consciously agree to form a new community it is essential that they share certain aspirations, needs and experiences. The form of this new society results from an effort to fulfill and satisfy their common characteristics. An agricultural occupation was the experience shared by the Englishmen who settled the town of Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1630. Their common needs included finding an environment in which the physical geography fit their accustomed agricultural practices. A large majority of the settlers of Dorchester came from the three West Country counties of Somerset, Dorset, and Devon. The Somerset and Dorset emigrants were from regions known for their dairy products since the Middle Ages. The Devonshiremen, in contrast, had lived in that county's grain and fruit producing sections. At the time the Dorchester settlers left their English homes economic conditions in the West Country pressed hard on individual farming families. Increased demand for agricultural products in emerging urban areas caused rents and the cost of good land to multiply rapidly. Price increases outran incomes and many people, in trying to escape the rural hard times, found themselves among the urban unemployed in cities such as Dorchester, in Dorset, and Exeter, in Devon. In an effort to understand the motivation for both the impulse to emigrate from England and the formation of a new community at Dorchester in Massachusetts Bay, a crisis situation was selected for study. During 1635 and 1636 one-third of Dorchester's population moved to the Connecticut River Valley. As with all of New England's history this event has been interpreted on the basis of either its religious or political significance. The people of Dorchester have been portrayed as fleeing from an increasingly rigid and narrow religious orthodoxy in the Bay Colony, or as democractically inclined frontiersmen escaping the oppressive, feudal oligarchy of the Massachusetts leaders. The people of Dorchester who established Windsor, Connecticut in 1636 did not fit either of these categories. They were dairy farmers and cattle raisers from Somerset and Dorset, together with a few east county men, whose Dorchester lands were not compatible with their agricultural practices. The Connecticut Valley, particularly at Windsor where they settled, provided the meadowlands and pasturage absolutely necessary to the successful maintenance of their cattle. The native grasses in the river-bottom meadows and higher pastures grew in red sandstone-based loams, reminiscent of the best soils in Somerset and Dorset. It is concluded that it was cattle, not religious doctrine or politics, which split the Dorchester community and resulted in the foundation of Windsor, Connecticut. It is suggested that while religion and politics were important to seventeenth-century New England husbandmen, as social determinants these were decidedly subordinate to the soil and the agricultural use of that soil. / Arts, Faculty of / History, Department of / Graduate

"Triumph of the Vanquished: Pancho Villa's Army in Revolutionary Mexico" studies the origins and formation of Francisco "Pancho" Villa's Division del Norte in the states of Chihuahua, Durango, and Coahuila during the Mexican Revolution of 1910. It demonstrates the manner by which guerilla cells based on a military hierarchy grew to brigade-size fighting units and later morphed into the Division. Once fully functional, the Division became a formidable force that achieved legendary status in Mexico's history. After tracing the villistas' rise and decline, the dissertation examines the lives of Pancho Villa's followers after 1920 when many became colonists in lands granted to them by Mexico's government. In 1920, the villistas signed a formal peace agreement with the central government and received properties on four colonies, two in Chihuahua and two in Durango. To analyze villismo past 1920, the dissertation focuses on El Pueblito, a colony located in the northwest region of Chihuahua. It highlights the lives of those ex-villistas turned agriculturalists, an aspect of the Revolution studied by only a few scholars.The general intent of this work is to reveal that ex-villistas -- those who were not a part of the surrender process in 1920 and had separated from the Division after their defeat at the battle of Celaya in 1915 -- continued their political struggle in Chihuahua past 1920 and beyond World War II as a part of the Unificacion de Veteranos de la Revolucion, an institution created in 1946 by veterans of the Revolution in the state. As influential and active members of the institution, the ex-villistas pressured local and national government for veteran assistance. At the same time, the former revolutionaries succeeded, through their involvement in the Unificacion, in maintaining a villista legacy, participating as they did in local events and in the construction of statues throughout the state dedicated to their fallen leader.
