Summary:

"Born in Rio Grande do Sul, Jelson is a university student and a member of the Pastoral Land Commission in Paraná. In this work, he presents a mosaic of the plight of the MST (landless peasant movement) in 39 places throughout Brazil as 'land of the free.' From Eldorado in Pará to São Miguel das Missões in Rio Grande do Sul, to Promissão in São Paulo to Xapuri in Acre, he presents a dramatic picture of these forgotten places in the hinterland, and links them to past rebellions: Contestado, Canudos, Trombas, and Formoso"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. http://www.loc.gov/hlas
