The modernization of brazilian agriculture has brought different socioeconomic and environmental impacts. New forms of production were incorporated into this territory by deploying modern agriculture, particularly from the 1970s, a period in which capital entered the field more intensively. In this changing landscape techniques and scientific achievements that presents the general objective of this study that is to analyze the social-spatial transformation of the peasant in the microregion of Livramento do Brumado in South Central Bahia, with the deployment of modernized agriculture and polo fruitful. The economic base of these municipalities is based on agriculture. The economic base of these cities is based on agriculture. With the implementation of the irrigation district in 1986, was the creation and diffusion of small farms. From that period the productive structure sat in the small property, work and family in the cultivation of mango fruit with dominance. The modernization of agriculture is not only the change in the technical basis of production - its consequences are economic and social. The methodology adopted was as follows: literature review, data collection agencies such as Ministry of Agriculture, Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA) and the Superintendency of Economic and Social Studies of Bahia (SEI). Information on the regional agriculture were obtained in sectors such as the Departments of Agriculture this micro municipalities, associations of rural workers, cooperatives and unions, producers and workers in horticulture. Empirical research was developed from the research papers on the history and occupation of the interior of Bahia and questionnaires and structured interviews with social workers: workers, farmers, businessmen, President of associations and local leaders. With the implementation of this perimeter were significant changes in land use that space, production techniques and labor relations. The modernization resized the agrarian space that micro and social reproduction allowed the small farmer. Currently, this stands as strong micro producer of fruits especially mangoes production. The production and marketing of these fruits has specialized over the years due to the collective organization of producers and the private sector. The fruit production in this micro-region is a potential market while agricultural product. The small farmers have their production units controlled mainly by family labor and supported by collective organizations that favor their reproduction strategies. This activity presents factors favorable to the continuation of the project with the same fruit presented adverse factors. / A modernização da agricultura brasileira trouxe diferentes impactos socioeconômicos e ambientais. Novas formas de produção foram incorporadas ao território com a implantação dessa agricultura moderna, particularmente a partir da década de 1970, período no qual o capital penetrou no campo de forma mais intensa. Nesse cenário de mudanças técnicas e conquistas científicas que se apresenta o objetivo geral desse estudo que é analisar as transformações socioespaciais ocorridas na microrregião de Livramento do Brumado, no Centro Sul Baiano, com a implantação da agricultura modernizada e, do polo frutífero. A base econômica desses municípios está fundamentada na agricultura. Com a implantação do perímetro irrigado em 1986, houve a constituição e difusão da pequena propriedade rural. A partir desse período a estrutura produtiva se assentou na pequena propriedade, no trabalho familiar e no cultivo da fruta com predominância da manga. A modernização da agricultura não representa apenas a mudança na base técnica da produção - suas consequências são econômicas e sociais. A metodologia adotada foi a seguinte: revisão bibliográfica, coleta de dados em órgãos como: Ministério da Agricultura; Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE); Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária (INCRA) e Superintendência de Estudos Econômicos e Sociais da Bahia (SEI). As informações sobre a agricultura regional foram obtidas em setores como as Secretarias de Agricultura dos municípios dessa microrregião; associações de trabalhadores rurais, cooperativas e sindicatos; produtores e trabalhadores da fruticultura. A pesquisa empírica foi desenvolvida a partir da investigação em documentos sobre a história e ocupação do interior da Bahia e aplicação de questionários e entrevistas semiestruturadas aos agentes sociais: trabalhadores, produtores, empresários, presidente de associações e lideranças locais. Com a implantação desse perímetro ocorreram significativas transformações no uso da terra nesse espaço, nas técnicas de produção e nas relações de trabalho. A modernização redimensionou o espaço agrário dessa microrregião e permitiu a reprodução social do pequeno agricultor. Atualmente, essa microrregião se destaca como forte produtora de frutas com destaque para produção de mangas. A produção e comercialização dessas frutas tem se especializado ao longo dos anos em função da organização coletiva dos produtores e da iniciativa privada. A produção frutícola nessa microrregião constitui um mercado em potencial enquanto produto agrícola. Os pequenos produtores rurais têm suas unidades de produção comandadas essencialmente pelo trabalho familiar e apoiadas por organizações coletivas que favorecem suas estratégias de reprodução. Essa atividade apresenta fatores favoráveis à continuação do empreendimento com a fruta mesmo apresentado fatores adversos.

A atuação local e isolada deste grupo que, atipicamente, desenvolveu suas ações no interior de São Paulo, na cidade de Ribeirão Preto, e a participação de trabalhadores rurais entre seus membros são características que o diferenciam dos demais. O desenrolar da pesquisa traz uma contextualização sobre os movimentos políticos, econômicos e sociais ocorridos em Ribeirão Preto no decorrer da década de 50 e, principalmente, na década de 60. Mostra os caminhos percorridos pelos integrantes do grupo, desde o momento anterior à formação da FALN até serem descobertos e presos. Destaca, por fim, a participação de alguns trabalhadores rurais no grupo e a forma como a Igreja católica local viu-se envolvida nesta trama política / Abstract: This research has the main objective to show the formation process and the activity of an armed left group in the 1960s, self named National Armed Forces of Liberation (FALN). The local and isolated activity of this group that atypically developed their actions in the interior of the State of São Paulo, in the city of Ribeirão Preto, and the participation of rural workers among their members are characteristics that make this group very different from the others. The development of the research gives us a contextualization about the social, political and economic movements that happened in Ribeirão Preto in the 1960s, mainly in the 1960s. It shows the ways traveled by the members of the group since the first moment of the FALN formation until their members be discovered and imprisoned. The research also emphasizes the participation of some rural workers in the group and how the local Catholic Church was involved in that political plot / Mestrado / Politica, Memoria e Cidade / Mestre em História

This study is a comparative analysis of how two forms of capitalist production intersect with gender to shape the labor process in apple packing houses of Virginia, United States and the VI Region, Chile. It illustrates how differences in growers' production systems, as well as traditional undervaluation of women's work, shape the organization of the apple-packing workplace. A theoretical framework based on the notion of labor processes was developed to study growers' farming systems and their use and management of labor. Production is conceptualized as a system based upon the relation of labor process and value-creating process. The study focused on two interrelated dimensions: 1) production as difference between exchange and use value and 2) the intersection of gender inequality and capital and its effects on the organization of the workplace and on women's ability to increase control and autonomy. Five apple farms were selected in each of two regions - one in Chile and the other in the United States. From these farms one hundred-twenty workers were chosen to be interviewed by stratified random sampling. In addition, the farm operator of each farm was interviewed. Labor in both regions is gendered and tightly controlled. However, the manner in which sample growers approach gender relations and the nature of labor control mechanisms differ from one region to the other. Such differences are associated with the type of production systems, the degree of articulation of farming systems with the modern economy, the type of ownership, the relation the owner had with the workers, and traditional undervaluing of women’s’ work expressed in wage differential according to gender and job segmentation. Explanations that propose an association between women’s income and autonomy are inadequate. First, women often worked because their family demanded that they do so, and, second, the type of work done by women in packing houses does not increase their economic power relative to men because a) the majority earn less than men, b) women’s packing-house work is commonly viewed as an extension of women’s housework, and c) women themselves think of their wage-work contribution as secondary and supplemental. Although women’s work choices are prediucpoan treeasdon s other than personal satisfaction, the majority value the possibility of meeting other women at work. Understandiwnhgy women enter packing-house employment needs to go beyond questioning women whether they do or do not need to work for wages. Explanations of how the contradictions in women’s roles and attitudes affect how labor power is reproduced within the workplace are needed when addressing gender and work. / Ph. D.

Nessa dissertação, procuramos discutir o processo de territorialização do que veio a ser instituído em Minas Gerais, a partir da década de 1960, como o Vale do Jequitinhonha. Abordamos esse processo de territorialização em seus contornos coloniais, uma vez que seu sentido conformou as relações sociais de produção particulares que passaram a viabilizar a acumulação de capital com a generalização do trabalho livre. Nesse contexto, instaurou-se no nordeste mineiro uma dinâmica regional de expansão da fazenda agropecuária, fundada na relação de agregação de lavradores, na qual o controle territorial, por meio da possibilidade do emprego direto da violência, condicionou a subordinação do trabalho. Essas relações sociais de produção regionais, por sua vez, passaram a ser objeto da intervenção estatal a partir das décadas de 1960 e 1970. Abordamos essa intervenção como parte do processo de modernização retardatária, movido nacionalmente como esforço de industrialização e de superação de formas de acumulação tidas como arcaicas. Modernização que, por meio da imposição de uma forma determinada de desenvolvimento, fundada na consolidação da propriedade da terra e na formação do trabalhador assalariado, deveria alimentar a indústria em formação no centro-sul do país. Por fim, partimos do processo de expropriação dos antigos lavradores do Vale do Jequitinhonha para observar a transformação dos mesmos em trabalhadores bóias-frias, em condições definidas pelos limites da modernização, que explicita seu caráter crítico. / This thesis discuss the process of territorialization established in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, from the 1960s onwards, the Vale do Jequitinhonha region. We approach this process of territorialization in its colonial boundaries since its sense conformed particular social relations of production which began to enable capital accumulation with free labor generalization. In this context, a regional dynamic of agricultural farm expansion was set up in the northeast of Minas Gerais based on the relation of a particular subordination of the local population (of the agregados) , in which the territorial control, through direct violence, conditioned the labor force exploitation. Eventually, these social relations of regional production became the object of governmental intervention from the 1960s and the 1970s. We see this intervention as part of the nationwide accelerated modernization process, as an effort of industrialization and overcoming accumulation methods regarded as archaic. This was carried out through the imposition of a specific pattern of development, based on the consolidation of land ownership and salaried labor force training, which should supply the newly established industry in the central and southern regions of Brazil. Finally, we focus the expropriation process of former land workers from the Vale do Jequitinhonha to observe their transformation into day-laborers, in conditions defined by the modernization limits, which reveal its critical character.

This study was an investigation into factors that influence the dropout rate of migrant students in central Indiana in May-June 2003. Migrant students are children of migratory workers who travel across school and district boundaries to obtain seasonal or temporary employment in agriculture. These students have been considered historically as educationally disadvantaged, with a migratory lifestyle that impedes educational achievement.The researcher developed two questionnaires: one for the students and the other for the parents. The researcher translated both questionnaires into Spanish. The purpose was to investigate how parental influence, mobility and lack of permanency, poverty, and the migrant/school relationship affected the dropout rate. The data were collected from 39 migrant students, ages 11-20, enrolled in central Indiana middle and high schools and 58 adult migrants who had children in school. Even though this study was quantitative, many conclusions were drawn from the informal conversations, in Spanish, that the researcher had with migrants sitting in front of their cabins in the camps. The researcher attended also parent meetings and cultural activities in the Migrant Centers. Many ideas, feelings and perceptions were shared during this time.The data collected were grouped in eight categories: Subject demographics, family educational influences, educational and career goals, migrant mobility, attitudes toward school, financial considerations, acceptance as migrants, role models, and dropping out of school. Seventy-six tables compared the results between the two groups, migrant parents and students. Conclusions and recommendations were made based on those results. Common trends were identified including several that disagreed with conventional common perceptions. Migrant parents and students have the same desires for a better lifestyle just like any other group in our society. Recommendations were made to promote instructional continuity, the importance of education, and the acceptance of migrants into mainstream society. Mobility, poverty, and language barriers were less to blame for migrant educational dropout than were parental and familial influence, lack of participation in extra-curricular activities, disassociation from school and society, severe discrepancies between career goals and educational preparedness, and a marked decline in the student perceived value of education as compared to the adult sample. / Department of Educational Leadership

Women's status in Indian agrarian communities has been discussed in terms of cultural and agricultural practices, which affect women adversely in the northwestern wheat region and favourably in the southern rice region. The correlation is tested by the female farm labour participation (FLP) rate and the juvenile sex ratio (JSR). / I examine the correlation between women's contribution to agriculture and their status in wet paddy and dry millet regions in Tamil Nadu. Compared to northwestern India, the JSRs are more balanced and FLPs are high in both regions, yet the implications of high FLPs differ. Thanjavur shows a high female labour participation in peak seasons, but year-round underemployment. In Kongu, the cultivation of garden crops requires both male and female labour throughout the year. / The contrasts originate from varied factors such as ecology and irrigation, cropping system, the distribution of land wealth, and on- and off-farm employment opportunities.
