The Politics of Agrarian Reform in Brazil examines the
interrelationships among peasant mobilization, agrarian reform and
cooperativism in contemporary Brazil. Specifically, it addresses
the challenges facing peasant movements in their pursuit of
political and economic democracy. The book takes as a point of
reference the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST), the most
dynamic force for progressive social change in Latin America today.
Robles and Veltmeyer argue that the MST has effectively practiced
the politics of land occupation and the politics of agricultural
cooperativism to consolidate the food sovereignty model of agrarian
reform. However, the rapid expansion of the corporate-led
agribusiness model, which is supported by Brazil's political elite,
has undermined the MST's efforts. The authors argue that despite
intense peasant mobilization, agrarian reform remains an
unfulfilled political promise in Brazil.
