Résumé:
In this work, I have analyzed the migration of the rural youth from the municipality
of Tavares in the State of Paraiba to the sugar cane region in the Ribeirão Preto Region in
the State of São Paulo. Three aspects are taken into consideration, first, the search for
autonomy in the construction of youth and gender identities; second, the access to income
as a possibility to gain consumptions goods and third, the invention and new meanings of
the sociability and leisure spaces in the municipality by migrant youth known as canistas
(name attributed to those who work in the sugar cane agriculture) I will use the concepts of
Habitus from Pierre Bourdieu and Experience from Edward Thompson to understand both
the social and cultural generative principies of the group and its subjectivities.
Methodologically, I rely on some trajectories to understand the youth workers knows as
canistas and to interpret the experience of the migration in me construction of identities and life projects. In this sense, I will look at one of the many faces of rural youth in order to
understand the formation of their identities and position in the present public policies.
