“A precisão faz ir longe”: migração e des-envolvimento em comunidade rural do sertão Norte Mineiro

Abstract

The aim of this study was to understand the migration processes and the relationship with the public policy of "de-involvement" proposals for the Sertão Norte Mineiro, from the case study in the Comunidade do Touro, in Serranópolis de Minas-MG. We try to analyze representations about the sertão, describing it as a place of diversity. We question the developmental policies that have established unifying visions and actions, causing critical development category. Within this context we rethink Brazilian internal migration and describe the trajectories of migrants the Touro, who experienced the promise of progress with the arrival of cotton monoculture. We conduct research literature and field, with an emphasis on qualitative methodology through in-depth interviews, observation of daily life and photographs of people and the place, focusing on the experience and perceptions of residents. The sertão were built discursive form and within this process the output of the place is seen as an alternative to the improvement of life, or the only way to live. We realize, however, that policies aimed at the development and overcoming such obstacles to progress have become ineffective and divisive, without considering the diversity and plurality of the sertão people. We had as a result of the stimulus to population displacements, where migration proved to be one of the ways to resist expropriation and continue the struggle for territory.
