Luta pela terra no Território Prof. Cory/Andradina (SP): trajetória das famílias do Assentamento Santa Maria da Lagoa em Ilha Solteira-SP.

The Território Prof. Cory/Andradina (SP), located in northwest São Paulo, has a high concentration of rural settlements, result of the expropriation of private lands due to a great pressure from social movements. The aim of this article is to analyze the trajectories of the struggle for land in the Território Prof. Cory/Andradina, focusing on the PA Santa Maria da Lagoa, located in the municipality of Ilha Solteira-SP. The research was carried out within the limits of the aforementioned Territory and the main source of information was the social actors who experienced the struggle through the qualitative methodology of Oral History. For that, 37 settled social actors who led or had active participation in the struggle processes were interviewed, four of them from the Santa Maria da Lagoa Settlement. The said Settlement was created in 2005, at the time with the highest intensity of occupations by social movements fighting for land in the Territory. In the case of Santa Maria da Lagoa, there was no occupation and there was no camp in the area, but the trajectories of the settled families allow us to observe the existence of a network of camps, consolidated at the beginning of this century, evidencing a long process of struggles.
