Memória social de mulheres de assentamentos de reforma agrária: a relação entre trabalho, política, educação e participação

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between memory of women, participation and education in the context of land reform settlements in the region of Sorocaba, using memories as object of study. Four thematic oral history interviews were conducted, whose themes were: Work, education, participation and politics. These memories revealed the participation process of settled and landless women, whom unveiled a clandestine history, shrouded in riddles in the bowels of restricted participation, politics, education, and the work dialectically substantiated by their experience. We concluded that these memories constructed other perspectives on gender and class as a way to interpret and maintain the resistance and struggles of daily life in four settlements in the region of Sorocaba.
