The Political Impasses of Rural Social Movements in Amazonia
José Souza Martins
Chapter 10 in The Future of Amazonia, 1990, pp 245-263 from Palgrave Macmillan
Abstract:
Abstract It is easy, though misleading, to take the large number of land conflicts in Amazonia as a sign of the vitality of peasant movements. It is just as wrong to consider such conflicts, generically and indiscriminately, as social movements. The opposite mistake can also be made. The predominantly local character of these struggles may suggest their fragility and reveal the absence of true social movements or, a more generous hypothesis, indicate their prepolitical nature.
