RELATÓRIO DE CAMPO: Conhecendo a questão agrária por seus atores.

This paper was done for a post-doc, where the main objective was to make a quantitative research concerning the agrarian violence within Brazil. Afterwards, the author got to the point that a field research was a necessary step with interviews with the main actors in this scenario, in one side the large landholders, and in the other the peasants. In the middle were the authorities. The interviews seem to be very relevant to the author comprehension of the agrarian violence and helped to tell this story to the readers in a better way than previously thought. It's essential to visit the most violent area within Brazil, south and southeast regions of Pará state in loco. A great finding was that during the democratic regime (since 1985-) more peasants were killed as result of agrarian confrontations (about 1,500 fatal victims) than in the military period. Because of the space limitations of this present report/field work, only the main parts of the interviews and the author's comments were preserved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
