Abstract

This study aims to understand the process of creation of the settlement SantoAntônio, from the implementation of agrarian reform in 1996. The settlement with 32 families settled is in the city of Cajazeiras, Paraíba, Brazil. The objective of the research is to understand the historical reality of the people through the memory of the settlers in relation to the experience and the reality on the settlement. Therefore, works with memory, according to authors like Silva, Le Goff, among others, showing the settlement with distinct patterns, not commonplace, but a historical space consisting of individuals formed according to the place designed from their spatial relations. Historical subjects seeking to reframe their identity seated in the multitude of scenarios, justified by authors, such as Albuquerque Junior, Mittidiero Junior, Oliveira. Places and persons not previously defined, but shaped by this process, seen in continuum formation, who yearn for improvements, but also go to fight even with its limitations.
