| Sumario: | Since the creation of the Correntinian Agrarian Leagues (CAL) at the beginning of 1972, the matter of the possession of land was acquiring greater significance within the struggle agenda until it was established as the casus belli of the most exacerbated class clashes of the organization. This article investigates the most important of such clashes, which occurred when a group of sharecroppers dedicated to the production of tobacco decided to resist by force the attempts to evict them from the field that theyhad worked for decades. By analyzing a varied corpus of sources (documentaries, newspaper reports, interviews, lyrics, etc.), it seeks to preserve the ‘subversive’ potentialities of the aspirations employed by the rebels. This inquisitive attitude led me to discuss other perspectives developed on the topic revealing, thus, a more complex picture of the conflict than the one restricted by the dichotomy “revolution” - “reaction”/“reformism” that has determined the study of the Agrarian Leagues. |
