Trabalho e educação: o caráter educativo da organização das mulheres do Assentamento Reunidas, Agrovila Campinas em Promissão/SP
Abstract
Within the movement for agrarian reform, women take an active and critical stance against
the hegemony of capital, and against the specificity of the situation of exploitation and
inferiority of women within capitalist society. Exactly in this scenario, a group of women
from Settlement Reunidas, Agrovila Campinas, located in the city of Promissão/SP, decided
to organize in 2011 a group for bread making, called “Flores do Campo”. This paper
investigated the organization of these women emphasizing issues about work and education
present in this process. During the research, in addition to the theoretical foundation, semi-
structured interviews were conducted with participants and former participants of the group,
as well as bibliographical analysis and documents relevant to the study. The work elucidates
about the condition of settled woman and the field work in Agrovila Campinas. An analysis of
the reasons why these women decided to organize themselves, as well as how the group
works. The professionalization of women is discussed in the field of professional education,
bypassing the public policies of professional qualification aimed specifically at rural
women. Factors such as the maintenance of the basic survival conditions of the settled
families, together with the contradictions of the role played by these women, are analyzed in
relation to the group dismantling. An active and fundamental posture of these women in the
dynamics of the lots is evident, which demonstrate to organize themselves in struggle,
searching for recognition and autonomy in a continuous process of adversity and
overcoming. This research sought to contribute and broaden the debate on the condition of
rural women who face several challenges in their daily lives.
