The (dis)ways of brazilian agrarian geography: the invisibilization of black people in brasilian rural spaces

Abstract

In order to understand the lack of protagonism of the black population in Brazilian agrarian studies, this paper aims to bring to light some reflections about the theoretical production carried out in Brazil, in the period between 1934 and 1960 - called Classical Agrarian Geography or Traditional - as well as to evaluate the policies of population and scientific laundering, as well as its interface with the creation of the first geography courses in the country. In this way, we sought to systematize part of the studies on the formation of Brazilian agrarian space, with the main objective of understanding the absence of the black as a social subject in the studies of agrarian phenomena and pointing to misconceptions regarding the black contingent in Brazilian rural spaces.
