Resumo:
From questions of how the peasant resistance territory it was constituted in Bartolomeu I
settlement in the city of Bonito Santa Fe - PB and data collections comes the importance of
studying this location, with the aim of analyze the genesis of the fight for land reform of
squatters from the public weir of Bartolomeu I to the present day. It is very important for the academic community and others interested in the subject, know the fight movements and e resistance of the peasants of High Paraíba backwoods. It occurs discussions of how they are
developing agricultural activities in the area if there is concern about the environmental
impacts, if they are being supported by government body along the trajectory and how this population is seen in front of the city's population. We searched the fight of Bartolomeu I settlers, with perspective to understand theoretically by theme researchers, and analyze how it
happened the fight of the settlers through oral reports and documents. These settlers hit front
to the ex - owners and the state to have their rights recognized under the law. We need public policies and incentives of higher education institutions aimed at supporting the least favored economically, with the aim of lessen the dominance of capitalism over agrarian space, where
the peasant lives in inhumane conditions having to work to keep your family and luxury of his
superiors. Reflecting about Agrarian Reform is an arduous process, because landlordism prevails in hand of the dominant class, who care little about the suffering of the settlers, they do not give up their status, explores the peasants, responsible for the food that comes to your table and they do not want to become independent. The conflict of the settlement of squatters of the public weir Bartolomeu I, in Bonito de Santa Fé - PB, is not yet resolved, but the
settlers now dominate the area and each family develops, in its share, the activity they want. The fight is constant and it takes courage to face the owners who dominate large part of the agrarian space. A part of society considers the landless peasants a 'marginal' prejudiced view
on a citizen who fight for better conditions of life, for a piece of land where they can develop their agricultural activities to feed their family and sell agricultural products produced in the land, because if the field does not grow, the city does not eat. So, from the year 1986, when it
started to hatch this conflict involving the tripod, the former owners, state and peasant, only now, in the the XXI century, the year 2014 is that the squatters of the settlement of squatters of the public weir Bartolomeu I succeeded in getting from the State the property rights of the divided area for the 17 squatters, in equal parts of land in the city of Bonito de Santa Fe - PB.
