description This article analyzes violence in the Brazilian countryside based on data collected by the Land Pastoral Commission (CPT) relating to violence against people and to social and power struggles. Based on the construction of a set of indicators of the incidence and the public and private forms of violence exerted on rural populations, the author focuses on the geography of violence and explores the similarities and differences that can be detected among the different regions and states of Brazil. The analysis allows us to see the extent to which current processes of agrarian development and socio-economic modernization of the countryside reproduce, or reinvent, social and power relations based on violence, which give continuance to renewed forms of modern coloniality.
