MEGAEMPREENDIMENTOS, AGROESTRATÉGIAS E POVOS E COMUNIDADES TRADICIONAIS: a resistência das quebradeiras de coco babaçu

Abstract

The article brings up a reflexion about the situation of impediment, restriction of access to babassu forest and resistance of Coconut breakers that have ensured their existence in the face of destabilizing actions caused by private economic investments and infrastructure in the “ecological region of babassu”. Indeed, the process to create a New Social Cartography, fulfilled between 2012 to 2015 identifies Coconut breakers that face the effects of deforestation and degradation, the coexistence of dense babassu forest with other more rarefied, in regard to the attempt to eliminate them by agents linked to livestock and agribusiness, and the relationship between women and the state through compensatory policies. Insofar, the New Social Cartography process privileges the representation of women about the aforementioned situations
