Abstract
This article analyzes the restructuring of work in Brazilian sugarcane fields in the context of the Brazilian mi-litary dictatorship of 1964 from a perspective of long-term processes. For this, we seek to highlight the main changes in this socioeconomic structure from the 1930 revolution, which allow an understanding of the lack of social protection of sugarcane workers, placing the military dictatorship as an axes of a passive revolution that found sedimentation of the past, while leaving, at present, vestiges of the days of a future forgotten in our history.
Key-words:
sugarcane; military dictatorship; restructuring of work; lack of social protection.
