Abstract

This article is the product of historical materialist reflections and dialectical about the context expressed in the structure and dynamics of the emerging conflicts and the conflict in Gleba Tauá, municipality of Barra do Ouro-TO. Questions arising from the expansion and territorialization of agribusiness capital over the territories of the traditional peoples living in the north of the Tocantins, which live in clusters of exclusion due to the precariously reterritorialized people. Nonetheless, in the meantime they are resistant to the extent that they make family farming on their own way as a means of existence and resistance to the pioneering frontier of the modern agroindustrial economy on the Amazon frontier. It was therefore the responsibility of this research to generate a thorough analysis of the conflict that harm people every day in the context of the municipality of Barra do Ouro-TO. Methodologically, the qualitative-quantitative structure of this research included a survey of primary data, photographs and nine (9) interviews carried out in two (2) field visits in the community of Gleba Tauá, in addition to a bibliographic review of literature (geographic and sociological) related to the theme of socio-territorial conflicts that occurred on the expansion front of agribusiness in Brazil. With the essence expressed in the expropriation of posseiros who have lived in this space more than 60 years to an exacerbated dominion and expansion of the current monoculture agricultural model, that of agribusiness, and its insatiable planting of commodities (soybean, maize and eucalyptus most often) - established in the "sesmarias" of the 21st century. Let us point out the urgent need to implement a policy of agrarian reform in Brazil, so that the peasants of this country have access to free land to carry out their work in its totality, so that we no longer omit the existence of a social problem that kills people every day in our country by denying the urgent realization of an Agrarian Reform.
