• TITLE: Forces in Struggle in the Country and the City Today in Brazil: Beyond a Dualistic Understanding

  AUTHORS: Célia Regina Vendramini

  KEYWORDS: Country and City, Informal Work, Resistance, Landless Movement, Neighborhood Association of the Morro Da Cruz

  JOURNAL NAME: Current Urban Studies, Vol.3 No.1, March 31, 2015

  ABSTRACT: Is it still possible to distinguish the line that separates the country and the city? How do rural and urban workers produce their life today? What are the characteristics that distinguish or approximate them? What movements of resistance have been observed? These questions guide our reflections about the relationship between urban and rural space. Based on a study in the urban pe-riphery and in encampments and settlements of the Landless Rural Workers Movements in Brazil, we seek to understand alternative forms of occupation of space today.
