Colonos maranhenses e vida rural no interior do Pará, décadas de 1970-80

This article is concerned with analysis of the settlement experiences of Maranhão by settlers who migrated to Para in the 1970s and 1980s. Faced with a set of statements expressed by settlers who acted in this process, we seek to understand the phenomenon of migration and colonization of the lands of Para, marked by the challenge of occupying land where the forest is constituted as the predominant landscape.
