A luta de mulheres camponesas pela conquista da terra: um estudo sobre os processos socioeducativos no Assentamento dona Antônia no município de Conde-PB

Abstract

The general objective of this course completion work is to present a study of the socioeducational processes present in the struggle of peasant women in the context of the conquest of the land of the Dona Antônia Settlement, in the municipality of Conde/Paraíba in the period of 1995 and 1996, focusing on the construction of a leading role for peasant women. It was sought, taking as a relevant aspect, the recovery of the historical memory and the social protagonism of peasant women in this process. The term "protagonism of women" is justified by the fact that women forge themselves as modifying agents of history; they themselves conquer, through organization, the right to freedom to participate in cultural, educational, historical, economic and political issues of the community. As specific objectives we have: a) To present the struggle and the conquest of the land as a feminine construction; b) To recover the historical memory of the social role of peasant women in the Dona Antônia Settlement in the municipality of Conde/Paraíba; c) To analyze the socio-educational process as a contribution to the protagonism of peasant women in the Dona Antônia Settlement in the municipality of Conde/Paraíba. In order to meet these objectives, we based ourselves theoretically on the pedagogical and social studies of Professor Paulo Freire on Popular Education and Education as a process of freedom practice, Carlos Rodrigues Brandão in his reflection about education as a community experience, and Roseli Caldart on the construction of a pedagogy that emerges in the process of struggle for the conquest of the land. In the methodological field, we tried to trace a path which included the following aspects: the bibliographical and documental research, as procedural techniques and the elaboration of a questionnaire script to guide the interviews carried out with the peasant women and the analysis of the interviewees' speeches. As part of the results, we found that the experience of women in the struggle for the conquest of the land provided peasant women with a female protagonism, the search for knowledge about their rights and a more active participation in the Dona Antônia Settlement, which resulted in advances in the community such as, for example, the acquisition of a new tractor conquered by the women's board in 2016.
