RESISTÊNCIA COTIDIANA À AGROINDÚSTRIA DO DENDÊ EM UMA COMUNIDADE QUILOMBOLA RURAL NA AMAZÔNIA ORIENTAL.

The objective of this article is to analyze how the residents of the rural quilombola community of Castanhalzinho, in Concórdia do Pará, develop everyday forms of resistance to the oil palm industry. The methodology consisted of a case study with participant observation and semi-structured and open interviews with members of all local families. We conclude that the main forms of resistance were the denial of sale of land to the agroindustry, which included an open manifestation of quilombola associations, the rejection of the rules of wages in plantations, the discourse on the effects of palm oil cultivation and the persistence of access to resources in the reserve of the company, previously public. The everyday resistance is based on the cohesion of the group supported by reciprocity, religiosity, kinship and autonomy at work and aims at the persistence in the territory without submission to the effects of the palm oil cultivation and the mechanisms of domination by more powerful groups.
