Abstract

<titre>Is a Better Word Possible&#160;? Landless Rural Workers Movement in Brazil </titre> A n analysis of transformations in the structures of the agrarian sphere in Brazil since 1964 can help to better understand the emergence and expansion of the MST (Movimento Sem Terra). The influence of movements linked to the progressive Catholic Church that have backed the landless rural workers&#8217; mobilization, demands and organization, has stepped in where the trade union movement has proven unable to combat the concentration of property and social exclusion. The trajectory of the MST, its specificities, its forms of struggle and organization and the formation of behaviors and alternative values, reveal a socialist ideology blended with religious influences that is now turning toward the alternative globalization movements.
