Abstract
In this article we discuss the relationship between the identity of the peasant settlers and the types of rural settlements of the Territory Cantuquiriguaçu in the state of Paraná. The Cantuquiriguaçu has 3 of the 20 types of settlements that exist in Brazil, namely: Colonization Projects (PC - Projeto de Colonização), Federal Settlement Projects (PA - Projeto de Assentamento Federal) and Dam Displacement Resettlement Projects (PRB - Projeto de Reassentamento de Atingidos por Barragens). We show how this relationship contributes to that nowadays the Brazilian agrarian reform is characterized by diversity of peasants and territories.
Key words:
Agrarian reform; Rural settlements; Identity; Peasantry
