It highlights the need to analyze the wide plurality and heterogeneity of the presence of the peasantry, as well as the multidimensionality that exists in relation to its dynamics in the territories. The objective of this article is to describe part of the social history of the peasantry in Paraty/RJ, identifying the forms and strategies of peasant resistance present in this territory in the last six decades.
