Land Use in Brazil

Synopsis: Looks at the use of land in Brazil and discusses how attitudes to land use can vary between groups as widely different as the small peasant farms and the massive state owners of the north east of Brazil. Argues that such contrasts in attitude are socially produced. Looks at a conflict which took place in the state of Paraiba in 1984 and shows that this conflict is not just a battle of ideas but confrontation of different forms of social organisation.
