| Summary: | This study analyzes the Transamazônica Highway colonization and land conflicts in
southeast of Pará during the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship. For such, it was established the
process of implementation of the Programa Integrado de Colonização Marabá performed in the
government of Emílio Garrastazu Médici as a guide. This Program was implemented next to
Transamazônica in the municipalities of Itupiranga and São João do Araguaia. In the last municipality
mentioned, the project in focus was accomplished when the military sought to repress the guerrilla
movement led by activists of the Communist Party of Brazil at the confluence of the Araguaia and
Tocantins rivers. There, not only many rural workers were arrested and tortured, but also required to
be Army guides to hunt guerrillas. Since 1974, many families who had come from various parts of
Brazil attracted by colonization, came to occupy a series of unproductive lands with definitive titles or
aforamentos, starting with those who lined the highway, causing intense and prolonged conflict with
farmers who were owners of these properties, because the families did not find support from INCRA. |
