Abstract
The text brings reflections about strategies and migratory flows of groups of peasants in search of work outside their fields as a way to supplement income and guarantee family reproduction. The article is the result of a comparative study between situations monitored in the state of Maranhao, Brazil (CARNEIRO & MOURA, MOURA, 2008; MOURA, 2009; MARINHO, 2010; SOUSA, 2011), in three Angolan villages, located in the provinces of Huambo, Huila and Benguela. We identified different survival strategies (GARCIA JR, 1989; HEREDIA, 1988) and daily forms of resistance (SCOTT, 2002) of Brazilian and Angolan peasants seeking to guarantee family reproduction. Due to the economic, political, social and cultural specificities of the two contexts compared, these strategies vary according to the positions that these subjects occupy, mainly in relation to the land (to the agricultural family work) and to the work outside the place of origin.
