Abstract

Baixo Parnaíba, in Maranhão, suffers from the expansion of the agricultural capital of forestry, due to complex public and private actions aimed at exporting the commodity. These actions result in the different uses of the territory, by peasants and foresters, that start to dispute it and, consequently, they come into conflict. For the study, literature review, field work and interviews with peasants were carried out, which helped in the empirical foundations for the study. Contrary to the developmentalists, it was noticed that the advance of the eucalyptus contributed to deep changes of the daily life of the activities of these peasants that implies in the destruction of their way life.
