Resumo: | The theme of land possession and usufruct in Brazil became a problem upon the arrival of the Portuguese conquerors at the beginning of the 16th century. Taken violently from the hands of the native inhabitants of Brazilian soil, land ownership became the subject of the Portuguese Crown, which transformed its new colony into a reservoir of inexhaustible natural resources. The struggles to overcome the exploitation of the colonizers began early, in an attempt to give the land its social destination, beyond the European mercantilist vision. The Landless Rural Workers' Movement (MST) is part of a long epic struggle for land, in a tireless war against the private land ownership, maintaining always in its horizon the utopia of access to land, especially for those who depend on it to work, produce and survive, going explicitly against agro-business and its destruction of soil and natural resources. A theological reading of MST, with Human Rights and the Rights of Nature as the background, detects, in the midst of the movement, signs of the passage of God, as was experienced in the history of the People of Israel who were liberated from the land of slavery and led to the land of brotherhood. |

XVI. Arrancada das mãos dos habitantes primitivos do solo brasileiro, a propriedade fundiária tornou assunto da Coroa Portuguesa, que transformou sua nova colônia em reservatório de inesgotáveis recursos naturais. As lutas para superar a exploração dos colonizadores começou desde cedo, numa tentativa de dar à terra sua destinação social, para além da visão mercantilista europeia. O Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) inscreve-se numa larga epopeia de luta pela terra, numa guerra sem trégua contra o latifúndio, tendo no horizonte a utopia do acesso de todos à terra, de modo especial, quem dela depende para trabalhar, produzir e sobreviver, na contramão do agrobusiness e sua ação destruidora do solo e do recursos naturais. Uma leitura teológica da ação MST detecta, nas entrelinhas do movimento, os sinais da passagem de Deus, como na história do Povo de Israel, libertado da terra da escravidão e conduzido à terra da fraternidade.

The struggles to overcome the exploitation of the colonizers began early, in an attempt to give the land its social destination, beyond the European mercantilist vision.
