No. of bitstreams: 1 Disserta??oLeonardo Amaral.pdf: 5339901 bytes, checksum: 93a501f13fb0fee675cd2d2f3dafa46c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-08-28 / Funda??o de Amparo ? Pesquisa do Estado da Bahia - FAPEB / The struggles for land tenure in the extreme south of Bahia occurred in a scenario of transformations of the agrarian structure throughout Brazil, which led to the emergence of conflicts in the countryside. These confrontations, in turn, in cases like the one of this baiana region had the interference of the Catholic Church, who acted in the organization of rural workers, settlers, small proprietors and fishermen, so that they could deal with the ongoing capitalist offensive. Moreover, the actions of the clergy extrapolated the actions of an organizational, character enabling their direct involvement in conflicts, which resulted in threats from ranchers to a priest and bomb attacks on a church, in vigilance of the activities of the Diocese of Caravelas by the National Information Service (NIS), as well as the targeting of violence to rural populations in the region, with beatings, torture and arbitrary arrests, but also with confrontations by rural workers, settlers, smallholders, in different spheres of social and political life and with the constant support of the bishop of the Diocese of Caravelas, dom Filipe Tiago Broers and some religious like frei Elias Hooij and priest Jos? Koopmans / As lutas pela posse da terra no Extremo Sul da Bahia ocorreram num cen?rio de transforma??es da estrutura agr?ria em todo o Brasil, o que levou ? emerg?ncia de conflitos no campo. Estes confrontos, por sua vez, em casos como o desta regi?o baiana tiveram a interfer?ncia da Igreja Cat?lica, que atuou na organiza??o dos trabalhadores rurais, posseiros, pequenos propriet?rios e pescadores, a fim de que pudessem fazer frente ? ofensiva capitalista em curso. Al?m do mais, as a??es do clero extrapolaram as a??es de car?ter organizativo, ensejando seu envolvimento direto nos conflitos, o que resultou em amea?as de fazendeiros a um padre e ataques de bombas em uma igreja, em vigil?ncia das atividades da Diocese de Caravelas pelo Servi?o Nacional de Informa??es (SNI), bem como implicou no direcionamento da viol?ncia ?s popula??es rurais da regi?o, com espancamentos, torturas e pris?es arbitr?rias, mas tamb?m com enfrentamentos por parte dos trabalhadores rurais e pequenos propriet?rios em diferentes ?mbitos da vida social e pol?tica e com o apoio constante do bispo da Diocese de Caravelas, dom Filipe Tiago Broers e alguns religiosos como frei Elias Hooij e padre Jos? Koopmans
