Ações de Estado e geração de conflitos: um estudo a partir dos conflitos gerados entre o Estado brasileiro e comunidades tradicionais quilombolas em Alcântara – MA

Abstract

This paper seeks to understand the conflicts generated by the edition of state acts regarding the implementation of the Alcântara Launch Center, in a context of the existence of traditional communities that occupy territory that is not suitable for this purpose. It is expressed by the reflection about the role of the State and the consequences of its official acts as a way of adapting the reality to objectives defined from specific interests that are in conflict with the interests of the centennial communities living in the city of Alcântara. It seeks to understand the conflict and its characteristics with the acts of state as the generator and political reaction of the communities as a result of the tensions initiated by the expropriation process imposed by the State of Maranhão in 1980 and later confirmed by the Federal Government in 1991. It seeks to understand the forms of politica organization and the strategies of these mobilizations in a situation of conflict designed by the creation of a developmental project in the molds of those that were implanted in the Amazon in the 1970s.
